Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
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): 0.86/day in the week to Aug 13 → 6.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

Reviews
One of my favorite entries in a legendary series from SNK. Beautiful artwork, hilarious sprite animations and pure chaos combined to create a very memorable experience.
Хорошая олдовая пострелушка, приятно вспомнить во что играл на PS1. Удобный и адекватный порт, проходится буквально за 30-40 минут, а если играть в соло - то и еще быстрее. Был удивлен поддержке геймпада от PS5

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 13: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

This is an unfair game that was made as a coin guzzler this should have stayed on the arcade cabinet.
O jogo é clássico e bem legal de jogar, é bem rapidinho pra zerar, o controle funciona, porém não no remoteplay. Recomendo bastante pra quem gosta da franquia.

小时候街机厅的回忆,就是移植的不怎么样,子弹和敌人一多就太卡了
buan juego
合金弹头和虐杀原形,这俩游戏的怀旧热度我一直觉得蛮奇怪的。它们在当年固然是很经典挺优秀的作品,但还真不是同时期热度和普及度最高的那一批,尤其是对国内玩家来说。但就是这俩在这几年的国内互联网上突然爆发怀旧潮,风头盖过所有同类型的经典作,就很奇怪。十几二十年前不管街机厅还是网吧,这俩都冷门里的冷门,网上也鲜有人讨论,我印象里网吧的版本也是纯英文的盗版,根本就没见人玩过,至少我呆过的几个省份的网吧都是。现在突然冒出这么多怀旧党,当然里面肯定有不少人是真童年回忆,真怀旧,但比例有多少呢,有多少人是网上看个游戏视频就突然多出了不存在的童年回忆
Me gusta el estilo y humor del juego, y esta mejor jugarlo con un amigo, lo que no me gusto es que la historia es muy corta, en menos de una hora se termina el juego, mi tiempo de juego sale 2 horas porque lo jugue dos veces con amigos. Mi reseña: 6/10
