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.
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.

I was browsing the Steam Summer Sale like I usually do when I came across Impaler Gold for a ridiculously cheap price. As someone who loves boomer shooters, I figured I'd give it a shot. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much—I thought it would be one of those games that's not bad, but nothing special because of how cheap it was. I couldn't have been more wrong. This game is so damn fun that I'm not even sure where to start. Impaler Gold is a fast-paced boomer shooter with two different modes, campaign and a time trial mode. The first campaign has 20 stages and can easily be finished in around 30 minutes, while the second has 16 levels and takes about 15–20 minutes. So yes, it's a short game, but it's also incredibly replayable. There are plenty of unlockable skills that change the way you play and keep each run feeling fresh. The game is challenging too, but in a fair way. It never felt frustrating to me—it always felt like my mistakes were the reason I died. There are also Hard and Nightmare difficulties if you're looking for an even bigger challenge. I haven't tried Nightmare yet, but both Normal and Hard felt really satisfying. As you play, you'll unlock new guns, but the most interesting weapon isn't a gun at all—it's the spear ability. You can summon giant spears from the ground to damage enemies, which is already pretty cool. But the best part is using them on yourself. Launching yourself into the air with your own spears feels incredible, almost like using the Gravity Gun from Half-Life, except you're constantly flying around the arena. Once you get the hang of it, the movement becomes ridiculously fun and adds a whole new layer to the combat. At the end of the day, Impaler Gold is a short, replayable, and ridiculously fun boomer shooter that costs next to nothing. If you're even remotely interested in old-school FPS games, I highly recommend picking it up. And honestly, games like this deserve support. It's made with passion, it's fun from start to finish, and it's proof that you don't need a huge budget to make an awesome game. Play it. Support developers who make games like this. 9/10

Well balanced enemies and a nice movement flow once you settle into it. Good difficulty curve too. Played this while listening to Dream Theater's discography and the vibe matched surprisingly well lol.
Долго искал игру, которая дала бы мне хорошее настроение и ощущение этакого приключения и напоролься я на такой шутер/рогалик с графикой ,которая напоминает чем то Quake. В данной игре вас ожидает кампания, какой то режим с коллекционками (хотя по сути, там просто режим по убийству врагов на время, как в испытаниях в игре Doom 2016). В игре есть сюжет, где вы должны добраться до босса(хотя поначалу, когда игру проходил Берникс), то он думал, что там просто будет неограниченное кол-во комнат, а оказалось нет XD. В игре был Босс , который выглядел как летающая голова . Победить его оказалось просто, но не думайте что он лёгкий, у него есть много интересностей). Кроме босса, игра может вас удивить наличием местных врагов, а также всякого рода вооружения, которые вы будете открывать походу исследования уровней и выполнением побочек. После прохождения основной кампании, вам открываеться сложный режим, но учитывая что у меня прям нет таких страстей к открытию оставшихься вопросиков(наученный горьким опытом в Вампир Сюрвайверс), я решил завершить данную игру . Тем более я её прошёл и на этом спасибо.. Ну и ещё в игре есть таблица рекордов, поэтому у вас будет возможность посоревноваться с друзьями))
This is gona be a no for me dawg. This is a one trick pony - and that's fine - but its mediocre at best. Weapon variety is cool, and the idea of using landing and spikes as combat techniques are fun, but the RNG and balancing absolutely ruins this for me. I've had dozens of runs with 500+ in cash and nothing but ♥♥♥♥ option after ♥♥♥♥ option to choose. Also the ONE level you get becomes absolutely boring and obnoxious after a few hours of play. Tragic, especially when the soundtrack and weapon balancing are this good.
Wish it was more diverse, more varied rooms, gets crazy quickly, claustraphobic? Don't play this lol
It is so, so, so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fun.
This game is excellent. Every single mechanic adds to the greater whole. It's very clear the developers played a lot of this game and knew exactly what made it fun. Also the amount of depth and engagement you get compared to how many inputs you have(Movement keys and both mouth buttons) is insane, It feels expertly crafted.
If your a fan of doom and quake like me this game kicks ASS
pretty fun game to sink a few hours into if you have nothing to do, great boomer shooter.
lo compre hace como 2 años, lo jugue por 20 minutos y lo desinstale porque no me parecia la gran cosa. ahora lo empece a viciar hace 1 semana y la verdad es que resulta bastante entretenido y desafiante. enamorado totalmente de la banda sonora y el arte de este juego.
