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 Aug 22 → 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 2,402 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.

Attack of the Karens es un shoot 'em up divertidísimo que incluye, con acierto, mecánicas de roguelike. Cargado de humor y con una historia clásica, pero lo suficientemente original para sentirse diferente, este juego de naves te invita a rejugarlo una y otra vez hasta alcanzar el final. Con mejoras para nuestra nave, ajustes de dificultad con modificaciones bien implementadas y que hacen se pueda adaptar a todo tipo de jugadores y unos combates llenos de acción frenética, es un juego muy recomendable. Artísticamente es una oda a lo retro, tanto por la elección de la paleta de colores y su detallado pixel art que hacen que se sienta único, como por su espectacular banda sonora de música en 8-bits tipo chiptune. Solo me queda decir que Attack of the Karens ha sido el juego que me ha reencontrado con los shoot 'em up, y que ahora tengo más ganas que nunca de volver a este género.

AotK is a 2D shoot em up (shmup) with roguelike elements that was largely made by a sole developer (sans voice acting and some promo art). The purpose of the game is to complete a run, where you defeat 4 robotic-mutated "karens" in a randomized order, leading up to the final encounter. - it has pixel art that oozes charm - it has a fantastic chiptune-esque soundtrack - the voice acting gives great personality to the characters - its humorous - the controls, gameplay, and mechanics all have a level of polish on them that you won't find even on some AAA titles - it is a complete game, with no held-back DLC or microtransactions - you progressively unlock upgrades to make your attempts and runs easier - there's a plethora of modifiers you can use to make the game easier or harder as well - it is priced modestly for the quality of the game if you're fans of shmups and roguelikes where you can just turn your brain off and attempt to finish runs of the game, you'll enjoy this

Attack of the Karens takes out Earth Defense Force by Jaleco as my favorite horizontal bullet heaven shmup. I even enjoy it more than that horizontal bullet heaven CAVE shmup.. YES, I said it! Enemy bullet patterns always give you an escape route, and you can upgrade your character as well as making your enemies more powerful. The color palate is easy on the eyes. Stay Frosty!
Great little shmup. You should play it.
Shmup + Roguelite avec une bonne dose d'humour et un challenge présent sans être impossible
An extremely fun shoot em up Highly recommend the graphics are cute and the voice acting is excellent
Great music, smooth gameplay, nice graphics 9/10 would recommend :)
Great game! It's challenging but not difficult. I like that the levels/bosses are randomized, it keeps the game interesting.
Soprendentemente bueno, me recordó a los niveles de Cuphead de avioneta. Es un juego de naves de toda la vida PERO con un toque moderno roguelite que hace que no te aburras porque cada run se siente diferente. Juega muy bien con la curva progresiva de dificultad, y mola mucho el ir teniendo mejoras permanentes e irlas subiendo tú a tu gusto. Si te mola el género el juego te va a encantar, y si aún por encima te gustan los roguelites es un MUST. Además está a un muy buen precio.
nice roguelite shmup.
