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.

Very cool game. Visually stunning. Has an arcade feel to it with just enough depth to keep it interesting. 2 big thumbs up!
Honestly a fun game, really awesome on Steamdeck to play on the go. Music is awesome and visuals are really nice. Definitely a challenging game, especially on hard mode.
A beautiful little game with a great story and world. I'm not normally a twin stick shooter person so I had a lot of fun with the gameplay!

A truly magical and unique world. Well-done character design, environment, atmosphere, everything is there to bring you back to the spirit of the late 90s arcade games, but the graphics are high quality and the gameplay is fluid and dynamic. I've read in several places that there were performance issues with the game, but apparently they are no longer alive, at least I was able to run the game perfectly. The only critique I have is that the enemies on the map could be a bit more dense, especially on the hardest level, I think it would be a lot of fun. For me it's like a MOBA (Dota, HOS) environment design and camera view with a Heart of Darkness :)
This feels like the kind of game I could waste an entire summer holiday on when I was younger. The art looks amazing, I love the soundtrack and the gameplay is very fun and simple to pick up. It's not perfect, I feel like some mechanics could be improved on (the character is pretty slow to turn around, and the height difference can be annoying at times where you feel like you're hitting an enemy but the bullets are flying over their head). The biggest drawback though is the performance, I really hope there will be another patch to address that. I have well over the recommended specs, but because of FPS drops I found it hard to play more than half an hour at a time. All in all, I would recommend to wishlist this game and get it when it goes on sale.
Ilość przeciwników wysypujących się na poziomie "easy" jest niedorzeczna. Gra jest pod tym względem niesamowicie męcząca, to są niekończące się fale wrogów, ciągle tych samych, tyle że coraz mocniejszych wersji siebie im dalej w grze. Pod koniec gry ma się wrażenie, że podstawowa broń po maksymalnym ulepszeniu jest na nie za słaba i cały czas trzeba się wspomagać dodatkowymi giwerami. Upgrade broni też jest mocno średni, bo nie można wybrać wszystkiego, tylko trzeba się decydować czy chcesz mieć np broń mocniejszą, która strzela wolno, czy słabszą, która strzela szybko. Taki wybór tak naprawdę niewiele zmienia. Ostatni boss na "easy" jest dla mnie nie do przejścia, wolę nie wiedzieć jak jest na wyższych poziomach trudności. To ma być "easy"?! Do tego dochodzi brak mapy, levele są dosyć duże, co dodatkowo utrudnia orientację, często się gubiłem, co w połączeniu z wolnym poruszaniem głównego bohatera i odradzającymi się przeciwnikami niesamowicie denerwuje. Jako zaletę wymieniłbym wygląd, który tak naprawdę przekonał mnie do zakupu. I to chyba jej największa zaleta. Technicznie natomiast nie jest dobrze, silnik gry wydaje się działać w 50fps a nie w 60fps, po zablokowaniu na 50fps obraz jest dużo płynniejszy niż w 60. I to jest najlepsza wartość jaką udało mi się znaleźć, żeby gra działała w miarę płynnie. O płynności 60fps można zapomnieć. Podsumowując, na dużej obniżce można sprawdzić, do połowy sprawiała mi jako taki fun, od połowy już tylko frustrowała.

Game is ok, it looks nice - gameplay is fun - some areas have bad performance issues which should be solved, overall some lack of diversity - quite the same mechanics / enemies over the whole time, also the additional weapons feel a bit unnecessary - i just need this "shotgun" and never felt i should use the others. overall the game could have been much better, more interaction between the 2 "heroes" - some sort of voice acting or commentaries etc. during the gameplay and more diversity and maybe forcing the player to use several weapons due to immunity or something else, idk. - BUT it is worth the money, the time i have spend was ok and as i said, i enjoyed the game.
**Full Disclaimer I work at Steamroller Animation (Not on the Game Dev side though)** I was interested in Deadwood since before starting at the studio and my opinion is purely my own. I've had a lot of fun playing Deadwood. It was one of the first games I installed on my Steam Deck (and I've only played it there) so while I can't speak for the issues people had in the past, I'll assume the last patch fixed most of them since it runs smooth like butter on the Deck. Really fun twin stick shooter, I love the dual character mechanic, it makes the Ranged/Melee make sense in universe in a fun way. The sound design is beauyand makes every shot/hit feel like it has weight to it. The story and world are pretty interesting, not your average fantasy. All in all the perfect game for a chill afternoon or to play during your lunch break!!
Good Game, but it still has a lot of bugs.
