The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
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): 0/day in the week to Jul 30 → 0/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 2,400 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.

When I first started playing for 30 minutes or so, I felt this was an incredible title. ( and it arguably still is. ) However, the difficulty is insane and I would actually like to finish a stage. Just a single stage. And it isn't just the "get good" factor. You are consistently knocked into pits ect.
人間界と妖怪国の秩序を保つために 妖怪ハンターの二人組が魑魅魍魎に立ち向かう レトロ風アクション。 日本語はありますが、機械翻訳です。 [h1][b]~ 主なシステム ~[/b][/h1] [b]・近接型の男主人公と遠距離型の女主人公 ・ボス選択式 ・溜めたお金で技を開放 ・残機が尽きるとボス選択メニューに戻される ・オートセーブ[/b] あまり語れる事は多くないですが ドットの出来は素晴らしいです。 ですが肝心のゲームバランスは良いとは言えません。 ・主人公の能力差が凄まじく、片方は罰ゲームのような性能 ・ノックバックで落下死させようとする配置が非常に多い 開発者はファミコン時代にあった負の遺産である 強いノックバックで落下死するのが面白いと思っているタイプで 落とし穴に落とそうと必死になっている手応えを感じます。 遊べはしますし、素材は良いのですが 古典的ではなく古臭いバランスのとり方なので 今の時代には合っていないと感じました。 定価は安めですが、個人的にはノックバック即死ゲームを 今更お勧めする生産性はないかな…という印象です。

1. I cleared the game as Ayane. Not sure if I can do it with Shintaro. His blade curves in a weird way. I did not bother finishing trial mode. 2. Finishing this game requires patience. I wonder if the pacing is perhaps too fast, considering the amount of traps that can kill you if you move too fast 3. You can select which area you want to start with, but it's actually not a megaman game. You don't gain abilities from defeating bosses. 4. You can collect bottles that can refill your health. You can hold up to 2 of them. This persists through death and can make your fights easier. 5. I recommend starting with the Frog Yokai and work your way through the lower row bosses. 6. Overall this is an okay game for its price. Maybe this is a start of a much better sequel. Note to dev: Thank you for listening to my earlier complaint about this game not having analog stick support.

Castlevania IV meets Mega Man X!!! But old timey Japan themed!!! Pro: -Great soundtrack -Tight controls -Fun character design (both playable and enemy) -'Just right' difficulty -Lots of secrets to find -Fairly unique levels -Retro fun -Lots of great enemies Con -Your movepool is limited and doesn't expand much -No achievements (yet?) -Some jumps can be a bit cruel
👺 Disappointed. Looks & sounds SO GOOD, but the gameplay is bad (not hard, just unfair). Constant memorization and repetition (falling onto enemies, small & fast yokais / projectiles, pits and instant deaths). The checkpoints placement is simply the worst. The chars' hitboxes are huge. The samurai has a useless immobile combo attack and it's easier to play as a ninja. Only two new moves (for each) in the store and nothing else (available only after completing any level). The skill animation takes time and during it you're motionless and vulnerable! Dash is strange, there is no place to use it. The heal items drop is so unbalanced and random. There are small "secrets" in the levels with potions, magic beasts and HP upgrades, but this doesn't help in the whole situation. An EASY mode has been added, but it's TOO EASY! (if you want to enjoy the game, play on it, since achievements ?not planned?) It was also funny when in the extra mode (unlocked after completing), you're asked to touch the screen. What a complete madness. Please, explain to the devs that there is nowhere to put coins and if you want to play something old-school unfairly difficult, there are plenty of games from the past, as well as free projects.
If you find this review to be helpful, my curators page is here: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/The_dull_games_reviewer 'Yokai Hunter Shintaro' is a flawed gem, at least for the price. It's a somewhat old-skool action platformer, with some of the frustrations that entails alongside bouts of it being an enjoyably tricky challenge. Like it's inspiration (early Castlevania titles, or Ghouls N' Ghosts) it can be unforgiving, such as instant death drops, but this is tempered by having a couple of lives, checkpoints in levels, and a relatively forgiving amount of damage before you die. There are also permanent upgrades for your health to be found, and enemies can sometimes drop items that replenish your health. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2836061603 Levels have varied environments, and the enemies found within combine differing attacks: some have ranged attacks, some have melee, some have basic movement, some can be a bit more erratic. It's nothing that revolutionary, and there are certainly more sweat-inducing titles within this genre, such as the Ori games, but it all comes together quite nicely for what it is. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2836060341 Some of the challenge is from occasionally woolly controls, some of it is from slightly cheap enemy placements, yet generally it is fairly judged, with systems that aid you just enough so it's not unfair. Unless you are extremely impatient, since it does take learning a level to some degree, as well as the attack patterns of the reflex-driven boss-battles. Charming sprite-work and distinctive, well-realised designs make it visually quite appealing. It runs smoothly, and has a pleasant enough soundtrack. There's not a whole lot in the way of story, though it's reasonably told and animated when there are short cut-scenes. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2836061035 Levels can be approached in any order, and of the 8 the game includes, all are of a high standard. After my 2 hour refund period I have beaten 2 of those 8 levels, and for £4 I'm pretty sure I'll get my moneys worth. Since I know what the remaining content is, it's possible to comment on it even though I haven't beaten it yet. Overall there is some slightly masochistic fun to be had here, nothing too teeth-grindingly hard, yet the genuine challenge is also undone by occasionally fluffy controls. If you want to compare it to much more expensive games, well....I could easily name humongous amounts that are far more sophisticated, but for the price this is a pretty polished, albeit also slightly basic, enjoyable effort.
