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.

Зразкова метроїдванія: Гра з унікальним візуальним стилем, яка заохочує до багаторазового проходження (зокрема на 100%). Сюжет та лор: Історія подається дозовано; за лаконічними діалогами ховається глибокий лор про подорожі в часі, що розкривається через пошук прихованих записок. Геймплей та дослідження Акцент на дослідженні: Ігровий процес зосереджений на вивченні світу та використанні нових здібностей. Гнучкий арсенал: Велика кількість зброї з різними типами снарядів, що допомагає як у битвах з босами, так і в пошуку секретів. Унікальні механіки: Окремої уваги заслуговує робопавук як важливий інструмент для взаємодії зі світом. Атмосфера та техніка Аудіовізуал: Стильна піксельна графіка в поєднанні з гнітючим, але привабливим саундтреком створюють неповторний настрій. Портативність: Гра ідеально оптимізована для Steam Deck (низьке енергоспоживання, тривалі сесії без підзарядки). Мінуси Навігація: Моментами шлях вперед неочевидний, що може стати перешкодою для новачків у жанрі. Вердикт: Однозначно рекомендую. Гра обов’язкова до ознайомлення як ветеранам жанру, так і тим, хто тільки починає знайомство з метроїдваніями.

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 2,420 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.

The year is 2017. A friend of mine sends me 2 pirated games saying "you should try them both, I know you love metroidvanias". One is a game called "Hollow Knight". I play it for a few hours. Looks nice, but it really doesn't catch my attention. The other one is called "Axiom Verge": same, never heard of it. I launch Axiom Verge. I meet a guy named Trace. As time goes on, a stream of dopamine invades me and goes through my body. My family calls me to have dinner with them. I look at the time: it's been 3 hours. I decide to call it a day. The next morning, I wake up at 6 a.m, turn on my PC and launch Axiom Verge. The data files are gone, the game is gone as well. The year is 2025. This game pops up in my Steam's recommended list. I buy it, download it and launch it. "Sorry Trace, I'm late."
cool robots
Epic <3
Is good
One of the best metroidvanias on steam. I don't have much negative to say about it, other than you have to do a bunch of wall checking for secrets and traversal can be a bit of a chore at times. The story is rather odd, but I liked it. This game really feels like someone who loves metroidvanias tried to make their own take on it, and it really worked out well!
feminist masterpiece
not very fun
Interesting take on the metroidvania concept.
for a game that takes me around 2.5 hr to beat and that i have over 173 hr on it the replay is grand with a built in rando i have came back to this so many times SM is one of my all time faves and now so is this game is it low res yep still love it good rando and good story if you are a fan of SM try this one.
