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): 0.11/day in the week to Aug 4 → 0/day in the week after.
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.

Absolutely adored this game as a kid! Was delighted to see it available on steam. That was until I started to play it. Impossible to change between the characters. You can’t bring up settings. Only four buttons work. A, B and RT. B and RT doing the same function, attack. A to jump. R1 is the “okay” button. If you need anything else, you’re screwed. Such a shame because it’s a brilliant game. Would I recommend the game? Yes. Just not on steam deck or PC. PS1 is the way to go, that’s if it still works. I am a determined pain in the hoohaa and got to level 3. So it’s doable but it’s frustrating.
Pandemonium! stavilo na jednoduchý koncept… bláznivosť. A práve bláznivosť je jednou z najväčších predností hry. Levely sú plné obrovských nepriateľov, lietajúcich plošín, trampolín, pascí, tajných miest a absurdných situácií. Kamera síce občas robí presne to, čo od nej nechceš, ale paradoxne aj to patrí k nostalgickému zážitku. Dnes by sme to nazvali „kamera je tragická“. Vtedy sme to nazývali „do piče, skoro som to dal!“ Grafika samozrejme zostarla. Veľmi. Postavy sú hranaté, textúry rozmazané a niektoré prostredia vyzerajú, akoby ich niekto nakreslil na papier a potom ich natiahol cez konzolu z roku 1994. Ale práve v tom je kúzlo. Pandemonium! nepotrebuje vyzerať realisticky. Má vlastný vizuálny štýl, ktorý je farebný, extravagantný a okamžite rozpoznateľný. Je to jedna z tých hier, pri ktorých si po pár minútach poviete: „Toto je čistý PS1.“ Najväčšou devízou Pandemonium! však nie je technická stránka. Je to atmosféra. Pandemonium\! vyšlo v roku **1996**\. A áno… **v tom istom roku som sa narodil\.** Keď si človek uvedomí, že táto hra má dnes už 30 rokov, je až absurdné, že ju stále dokážem zapnúť a okamžite ma preniesť späť do éry PlayStation 1\. Vtedy boli na výslní mená ako **Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Tekken či Resident Evil**\. PS1 mala neuveriteľnú zbierku hier a Pandemonium\! rozhodne nebolo tou najväčšou hviezdou konzoly\. A možno práve preto je dnes také príjemné si naňho spomenúť\. Nebola to hra, o ktorej by rozprával každý na školskom dvore\. Nebol to Tekken, kde sa každý hádal, kto je lepší – Kazuya alebo Paul\. Nebol to Crash, ktorého poznal prakticky každý\. A nebol to Spyro, ktorý si ukradol srdcia miliónov hráčov\. **Pandemonium\! bolo tak trochu ten zvláštny kamoš v partii\.** Nenápadný, trochu šialený, farebný a úplne svojský\. A práve tým si ma získalo\. Je neuveriteľné, že hra z roku **1996** dokáže aj po troch desaťročiach vyvolať ten istý nostalgický pocit ako hry, ktoré boli vtedy oveľa väčšie\. Nie kvôli grafike\. Tá už dnes samozrejme pôsobí archaicky\. Nie kvôli technickej dokonalosti\. Ale kvôli **atmosfére**\. Pandemonium\! je presne ten typ hry, pri ktorej si človek povie: *„Toto už dnes jednoducho nevyrábajú\.“* Je bláznivá, farebná, trochu chaotická a miestami poriadne frustrujúca\. Kamera si občas robí vlastný program a ovládanie vám dá veľmi jasne najavo, že ste vyrastali v ére, keď hry neľutovali vaše nervy\. 😂 Ale keď sa do toho dostanete, začne fungovať jej najväčšia zbraň – **charakter**\. A možno práve preto sa na Pandemonium! po desaťročiach pozerá tak dobre. Nie preto, že by dnes porazilo moderné plošinovky. Ale preto, že moderné plošinovky už nedokážu úplne napodobniť ten pocit, ktorý sme mali ako deti pri zapnutí PS1. Pandemonium! je presne ten typ hry, ktorý vám pripomenie dobu, keď sme nehodnotili FPS, rozlíšenie, ray tracing ani počet polygonov. Hra bola buď zábavná, alebo nebola. A Pandemonium! zábavné bolo. Verdikt: 9/10 za nostalgiu, atmosféru a čistú PS1 energiu. Dnes možno pôsobí trochu kostrbato a staromódne. Ale ak ste vyrastali na PS1, je veľká šanca, že po pár minútach budete mať ten zvláštny pocit, keď sa na chvíľu vrátite do obdobia, keď najväčším problémom vášho života bolo, že vám brat vybral pamäťovú kartu zo slotu. Pandemonium! nie je dokonalá hra. Je to však dokonalá spomienka. P.S. "Pridajte prosím vás aj Pandemonium 2 na steam !!!!!"

Jogo nostálgico. Muito bom!
it used to work fine and now it just crashes RIP
Pandemonium! is a vibrant and imaginative 2.5D platformer that originally debuted in 1996 — and despite the decades that have passed, its charm holds up remarkably well. The Steam version preserves the quirky spirit and inventive level design that made the game a cult classic, delivering a nostalgic yet genuinely enjoyable platforming experience. Players take on the roles of Nikki, an acrobat, and Fargus, a court jester, each with unique abilities that impact gameplay. The game’s standout feature is its clever use of 2.5D graphics — a blend of 3D environments with side-scrolling mechanics — which still looks distinct and stylish, even today. Levels are colorful, surreal, and full of variety, with dynamic camera angles that enhance the sense of movement and spectacle. The controls, while slightly dated by modern standards, remain tight and responsive. Each level offers new challenges and obstacles, encouraging both precision and creativity. The music and sound effects, though simple, are catchy and contribute to the game's playful tone. For longtime fans, Pandemonium! on Steam is a faithful revival of a beloved title. For newcomers, it’s a fun, accessible introduction to one of the most inventive platformers of its time. Pros Unique 2.5D visuals with clever level design Two distinct playable characters with different mechanics Whimsical tone and memorable environments Still fun and challenging decades later Cons No modern enhancements or remastering features Might feel dated in pacing and visuals for some players Final Verdict Pandemonium! is a timeless platformer that continues to impress with its creativity, humor, and gameplay. While the Steam version doesn’t offer modern upgrades, it delivers the original experience intact — and that’s more than enough. Highly recommended for retro game enthusiasts and platformer fans alike.
Loved this game as a kid, and it's still super fun as an adult. Levels are a total blast and lots of whimsy. The music is so great. Would love to see this game rebooted, but am totally happy with being able to play the old school graphic style on steam and not needing to dig out an old console!
I loved this game as a kid, but this game barely works. No good.
Are remakes needed? That is a question that is raised every time a major company like Nintendo or Sony releases a bunch of them for products sometimes available in relatively modern consoles. They could be seen as a cashgrab, an excuse to delist the older ones or a needed accessibility polish. Whatever the case, this game is in dire need of one by now. Pandemonium is among the first exponents of the 2.5D platformer genre. Here the mechanics and platforming operate similarly to a 2D platformer except for the fact that you're in a 3D plane with a camera that you don't control directly. Depending on which path you take you may be able to rotate it, go into the background or foreground respectively. With this one is able to showcase some really cool effects, design exploration focused levels and fill them with secrets for the player to come across. While this is what I'm guessing the direction was going for, it doesn't justify how unplayable this version of the game is. From minor inconveniences like not being able to rotate the camera at will or having a password system instead of save states, to having the game randomly suffer from sudden accelerations, crashes or the inability to properly register an input. With the latter the result is having your double jump, a crucial mechanic in some levels, up to chance for whether it works or not, leading to some really frustrating developments and souring the whole experience. As far as I was able to look up, there was no way to fix these issues completely, at least on Steam. I've been told there are PC ports for platforms like GOG that work a bit better but not perfect. Either way, it's high time a remake is taken into consideration. For now, stay away from this port and if you’re craving for something of the genre that does work consider checking out the Klonoa games.
I was excited to play this game because I played Pandemonium 2 growing up but never got to play 1. However charging $5USD for such a badly ported game is criminal. I couldn't get it to work on my PC and I'm not impressed by having to do a bunch of stuff to config files. Game should be $1 at most for the quality. I'll just keep hoping for a remaster.
This was one of the first PS1 games I got and teenage me enjoyed it so Recommending out of nostalgia
