Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
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): 2.14/day in the week to Aug 7 → 2.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

Откровенно говоря, это было спонтанным решением купить эту игру. Но я в целом не жалею о покупке. Достаточно занятный олдскульный шутер, в некоторых моментах лютый буллет-хелл. Он не сильно длинный(примерно за часа 4-5 проходиться), и геймплейно весьма приятный, да и на глаз графика хорошо воспринимается. По поводу сюжета мало что могу сказать, слишком много недосказанности. Походу сиквел прояснит ситуацию... Впрочем, уже купил, и буду играть. 9,9/10, жаль никакой вариативности по поводу концовки нету.
Retro aesthetics. Modern mechanics. Best of both worlds. The most detailed gore (not the "most realistic") you can find, and all of this - with 2D sprites. For once, a shooter decides to handle reloading different weapons differently! You get to manually load individual rounds in your shotgun, replace magazines early and keep the chambered round (or not, in case of open-bolt SMG). This is particularly unusual to see in a game not aiming for realism. The only weak point of the game is boss fights.

Very fun and interesting, it sparked curiosity about the story. The game was good through the 7 hours I spent on it, so for the price it's worth it.
The sequel is better, but this game is still incredible. 9/10
no direction at first boss i've died so much to dumb stuff i'm sure the game is great but i'm just the wrong kind of player for this type of torturous boomer shooter experience.
I had an itch for a game in a world of BLAME! and this scratches it. It's strange, it's good.
"generic" is how I would discribe this game. It doesn't do anything really bad, neither does it do anything really good. Its level design isn't special and is sometimes plagued with enemy spam. The weapons aren't anything to write home about. The music and the visuals are fine but a bit boring. The combat is just boring. While it does have some resemblance to classic DOOM, Marathon and Wolfenstein 3d, it doesn't have the gameplay that makes these classics so timeless. If you want [i] just [/i] a boomer-shooter, then this game should suffice. If you expect anything more than just a boomer-shooter, go play something else. The most 5 out 10 game ever made.
this game is ok and disturbing its like im back to the 90s old video game the vibe is pure horror when i fiirst start and leave me blank for awhile because of the gore
Charming
Short game, has a few issues with crashing(probably my HDD or something), overall pretty fun. Gonna go play Beyond Citadel now.
