Every market we collect.
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): 2.14/day in the week to Aug 7 → 2.57/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
The Citadel and its sequel are better at being DOOM than anything iD has released in decades. I will happily die on this hill.
Great game if you enjoy tactical shooters. Amazing gunplay, large variety of "toys" to work with and an interesting although bleak world. The sprite work is great, even if the gore is plentiful and rather detailed, however the levels appear repetitive due to a limited colour palette and texture library. The sound effects are nice however the soundtrack is nothing incredible, mostly working as background ambience. Solid experience overall.

Very good game all things considered. A few issues here and there but all in all very worth it. Pros: One of the best gun sims ever made - you actually feel like you are using the guns. Great level design Love the gore but there is an option to turn it off Beautiful art style Cons: Crashes often when changing levels English translation is rough Levels could use a bit more graphical variety (every level kinda looks the same No achievements Alt for melee attack (can be changed) Minor bugs (mech moving forward - Can be fixed by opening the menu), (Scroll to swap weapons seems glitchy) Would recommend for anyone who can get through the crashes
If you like shooters with good movement, guns and gore this is the perfect game for you.
Прикольная игра, проходится буквально за 6 часов если не менять сложность. Из минусов: у меня игра начала вылетать на загрузках после пятого акта, но это не критично, т.к. при заходе в игру я попадал на следующий уровень, да и вообще это все из-за движка урина пять... ой, то есть четыре. По этой же причине иногда были просадки до 40ка фпс. А так игра тупа топ, играл с кайфом.
Хорошая игра
A short, very solid boomer shooter. [b] Very high amount of gore and gibs, if you dislike gore in excess this is not the game for you. [/b] It is the dev's first game and it does show in some aspects, especially when compared to beyond citadel, but still stands on its own. Its a fun experience with a decent catalogue of weapons that can be upgraded and a variety of equipment and small mechanics that make the game stand out from other titles in the genre.
its fun had a few crashes and the enemy type is limited but the gameplay is solid
The sequel is definitely leagues better, but this game is still a really fun, quick playthrough. Both of these games are great in my opinion.
