For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 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.

It's a Doom clone. If you don't have expectations based on that, just expect crisp, simple FPS. Mala Petaka has a vibrant, 8Bit feel with some brief interludes and comic bubbles. There are some clever new tricks and the beautiful world beckons you to stop and take a look around when you have to backtrack. It's right behind SRB2Kart as my favorite Doom mod/clone. It errs on the easy side, especially in the boss fights, whereas many games like it seem impossible. But don't let your guard down. It's easy to get taken out!
A really fun retro shooter. It's repetitive, but also short, so it doesn't overstay it's welcome. Great graphics and music, cool gameplay loop, can't wait for the expansion pack ^^ Also "mala petaka" sounds like a Sepultura song title :D

Mala Petaka is a very good game.
Holy hell! I started playing this a few months ago and it didn't really click for me, but after a few tweaks and updates I came back to it and it's become one of my favorite games I've played this year. Very straightforward and aggressive gameplay, maybe even a little simple, but the fusion of its pick up and play nature and the gorgeous, vibrant visuals and music really elevate it. This would be a great FPS for kids as well (though preferably in that case I could disable the blood in the character portrait) as you're essentially just exploding robots with little alien blobs inside. Plays really great with a controller as well! The reveal of the upcoming expansion at the end did make the game feel like it was secretly an Early Access title, but I'm excited for it nonetheless. Great stuff!
Perhaps one of the most beautifully designed boomer shooters on Steam. No bugs found other than a few framedrops when entering stages for the first time. Other than that this is a very beautiful game! Props to the music and graphic designers!
Pros - Great retro aesthetic - Very good chiptunes music - Good weapons Cons - Too short - Highly repetitive level design
Fantastic boom shoot wrapped in an unusually colorful veneer for the genre. Weapons, movement, maps, enemy roster, and music all complement each other very well. Fun secret hunting without being necessary like some boom shoots these days. Look forward to the expansion.
too short, too easy, but there's more to come and a hard mode, so... it good! very stylish, very fun, compulsively payable.
Short but sweet! Would absolutely recommend the game to anyone who wants a high energy romp through a colorful GZ Doom fps! 9/10 would frag again
neat game, very short. very much appreciated the level design easily funneling you into the next zone for more combat (basically never confused as to where to go as pickups lead the way), very little downtime. loved the mega-man like visuals in 3d.
