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 31 → 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.
About
Kickback is a top-down shooter with roguelike elements set in a biopunk setting. Your hero is the pilot of a damaged organic combat vehicle which can only be controlled by the recoil of its own weapons. Eliminate waves of mutants, create combinations of weapons and perks to successfully move through the enclosed arena and fix the broken engine.

Unique movement mechanics: the recoil from firing the selected weapon is the only way to control movement. Different types of weapons have their own features and characteristics, which greatly affects the movement physics and creates an unusual game experience.

Combat system: find various tactical solutions with numerous weapon combinations and offset the disadvantages of one weapon with another. Experiment with your build to experience the game in new ways or improve your personal results.

Perk and level system: upgrade your vehicle’s weapons and hull as well as its basic characteristics with the available upgrades to suit your style of playing.

Local co-op: put a friend at the helm of a combat drone and test its firepower against mutants that outnumber you.

Loved the demo that dropped I think a couple of next fests ago, and I absolutely love the full release! Big congrats on this game and its unique concept and movement mechanics, but also the vibe and art direction just nail it for the overall presentation. We live in a world dominated by the ever changing and ever increasing price of triple A games, but its games like this with a lot of heart from independant devs that make me not worry so much. If you are looking for the classic easy to pick up hard to master type, or are a fan of unique roguelikes you should be playing Kickback! Well done on a stellar title here!
Хороший буллетхелл рогалик с интересной механикой передвижения от отдачи у первого перса. Очень много интересных идей в пушках, персонажах и перках, но особой глубины в геймплее нет так как интересных сочетаний перков особо не соберешь даже если сильно постараешься. Однако кор-геймплей и некоторые идеи позволяют залипнуть на пару часов. Весьма достойно для первого проекта.

Good game
Это реальное месиво, однозначно рекомендую к употреблению
В поисках чего-нибудь безызвестного, но качественного я наткнулся на эту игру с 49 положительными отзывами из 49. Теперь их 50, игра действительно отличная. Она вполне достойна того, чтобы посвятить ей несколько вечеров и иногда возвращаться
buen juego. innovador con su mecanica de movimiento. arte muy cuidado. recomendado.
Completed the story already (5 hours) (flex) but it's good fun.
A great and very unusual game. It is necessary to completely rebuild the brain in order to understand where and how to move. After half an hour, you get used to it and start making conscious movements. A very unusual visual style. If you're looking for a new experience, this game is a great choice. Now there is a discount on it, and it is quite inexpensive.
Открыл все классы прокачавщись трижды до 20 уровня, больше особого желания играть нету. Игра довольно пустая, контента мало, а сама сделана очень ломано, (пару раз даже вылетала с какой-то ошибкой). В целом всё сказал, лайк чисто за задумку, которая на самом деле довольно очевидная
Хорошая небольшая игра на небольшое количество времени. Визуал вполне нормальный (правда пиксельный арт может не понравиться). Музон клёвый (лично мне заходит). единственный минус - мало контента, а так превосходно.
