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): 3.29/day in the week to Aug 31 → 4/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1/day in the week to Jul 21 → 1.4/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 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.

quite a chill game and dare i say its a nice break in the same genre from the hyper stimulation of vampire and megabonk. no options paralysis, no hyper maxxing, just a nice fun survivors like.
After just one game, I was able to cast out any doubt I had about other people's reviews regarding this game. If there ever was a Vampire Survivors successor, this is it, for sure. I don't really want to spent a while typing this review because I'm so excited for my next game, but let me just say this: - Upgrades are so fun and satisfying - Soundtrack is KILLER. Did not expect this. I have a 10" sub and two 5" monitor speakers. Bout blew the house down banging out to the soundtrack. Absolutely amazing - Game seems polished enough with progression to get a lot of playtime - In-game guide, along with many other PSX style inclusions make you feel like you're revisiting a game from your childhood, or even playing a classic from long ago for the very first time - Devs are clearly passionate enough about their community to add mod support so early in development (though they're not plentiful at this moment, this is a huge dub for any game) - Local splitscreen, a rarity on Steam these days, especially for indie games of this quality - Overall aesthetic is genuinely so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cool. You're a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mech, who's also a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ knight. Doesn't get much better than that
Great game <3

无聊 非常无聊。。。。
A sharp PS1-era mech Survivor-like with great retro style and surprisingly deep buildcraft.
Super fun can see myself putting a good amount of hours into this game
