Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 4.44/day in the week to Aug 4 → 31.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

正如文化工作者要有文化,游戏也一定要能正常玩。游戏运行一段时间后会随机出现卡死BUG,非常影响游玩体验。综合平价,适合7折以上入手。
The æsthetic is perfect. One of the few games I constantly re-install because its just what I'm looking for in a game.

Cool game but HORRRIBLY optimized and supremely buggy. And why on Earth cant you join a COOP game from WITHIN the game? Why do you have to do it via steam overlay? Cool game tarnished by terribly buggy experience. The Bethesda special except....not Bethesda?
The game is a few years old, but it still looks amazing with its vibrant colors and cyberpunk setting. The twin-stick shooting, upgrades, missions, and story are decent and get the job done. Very fun gameplay set in a cool cyberpunk world.
Amazing visuals and gameplay, Soundtrack is 10/10. Def worth a look if you like the ARPG shooter style games.
Атмосфера и дизайн очень зашли, но это ИИботня, которую вообще не тестировали похоже, одни утечки памяти чего стоят. Прям не советую.
I'm only 10 hours in, but here's what I've gathered so far. The world is stunningly beautiful. The sound design and music is also great. The atmosphere as a whole just exudes style. But that's about all it has going for it at the moment. I do enjoy the gunplay, with the variety of weapons and abilities at the player's disposal. My main gripe with it is how little of my 10-hour playtime was actually spent engaged in exciting combat (keyword being exciting). If shooting things in the top-down shooter wasn't the main thing I've been doing, then what is? Boring, tedious traversal. Don't get me wrong, I love how vertical the maps are. But there just isn't enough quality of life in place to make traversing the world fun. Sure, there's a fast-travel mechanic, but since most of the missions boil down to go to the quest location, shoot a few people, press X, then return to the quest giver, you find yourself going up and down the same flights of stairs or walkways over and over again, even WITH fast travel. Oftentimes, since you're backtracking, the enemies are also severely underlevelled compared to you, which makes the combat somewhat brain-dead. There have only been a few times so far where I actually felt challenged. This is further muddled by the fact that for some reason, the game gives you quests that can't be completed until some specific story quests are done, so you spend a few minutes walking all the way to the quest marker only to be met with an interactable that just can't be interacted with, or a dead end. In terms of the story, well, I guess the game definitely has one. It's been pretty mundane so far, and I'm really hoping it picks up. But if the first 10 hours are anything to go by, I'm not particularly optimistic considering how one-dimensional all the characters have been. There have also been quite a few bugs. Notably, sometimes the target enemies just won't spawn and I'd have to reload the game, but nothing game-breaking as of now. I'm definitely still going to finish the game. It's not all bad. It just isn't really good enough to warrant a recommend in my eyes right now. Hopefully by the end, the game interests me enough to change this to a positive review.
