Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
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): 3.14/day in the week to Aug 31 → 6.57/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 2,419 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.

Good game! Im a 80’s kids. This feel like modern NES game.
忍龙精神续作,除了DLC最后坑爹的赛跑以外其他都还不错。
[h1]Runs great on Steam Deck hardware[/h1] The Messenger is a cute little throwback to the 80’s retro consoles, with gorgeous 8-bit NES style graphics. While it starts out deceptively simple with only a jump and attack button, new mechanics are introduced to the game slowly as you unlock your abilities. Without offering spoilers, the backstory is cliche (Mystery saviour says you are the ONE, deliver this scroll) and its only later you really this is intentional design. It has a cryptic mystical shopkeeper who helps you unlock your abilities The first item is a pair of claws that let you cling to and scale walls. The shopkeeper makes a reference to Ninja Gaiden, breaking the fourth wall. You then realise the entire game, story and art is a love letter to Ninja Gaiden and other platformers of that era. I genuinely didn’t think I was going to enjoy it as much as I did, but you do need to persevere or be in on the joke to realise everything is carefully thought out……. Everything is intentional. So don’t overthink, just roll with the punches and enjoy the ride. I’m going to pace myself, as I think it would be easy to binge this and be disappointed later. But great ninja metroidvania.

游玩心渊梦境后特地给信使补个好评: 1、非常出色的复古横版动作佳作,手感、关卡、音乐、剧情几乎全方位在线,是复古像素游戏里的第一梯队作品。 2、操作手感调校得极其舒服,忍者的挥刀、墙跳、滑翔、凌云步空中重置跳跃十分跟手,打击反馈干脆利落。难度设计很合理,不是恶意堆怪式折磨,更多考验操作熟练度。存档点分布很友好,BOSS战前基本都会设置存档,失败之后不用长途反复跑图,死亡惩罚比较温和,就算反复翻车也不会产生强烈挫败感。 3、关卡设计创意十足,前期是线性爽快闯关,后半段完成蜕变,转为银河恶魔城式的大地图探索,8bit与16bit画面可以时空切换,美术质感惊艳。大量巧妙的平台跳跃谜题,配合凌云步机制,可以打出行云流水的跑酷操作,玩起来酣畅淋漓,同时埋藏不少隐藏房间与秘密,愿意探索就会有额外回报。 4、剧情和人物是一大惊喜。开局看着是老套的忍者送信拯救世界,随着流程推进不断反转,故事格局越铺越大。角色对话风趣幽默,商店老板、恶魔NPC的台词充满趣味,轻松诙谐,不会全程谜语人,世界观和背景会随着冒险逐步交代清楚,叙事完整易懂,人物形象鲜活生动。 5、BOSS战设计各有特色,机制区分明显,招式节奏清晰,熟练之后打起来爽感拉满。音乐OST质量极高,8bit、16bit两套配乐,旋律洗脑,和场景氛围高度契合,就算关掉游戏,BGM也会让人印象深刻。 6、武器与成长系统简单实用,道具、忍具逐步解锁,没有复杂冗余的数值堆砌。资源获取渠道稳定,货币可以刷怪、开宝箱获取,商店可以购买回血道具、升级,生存物资补给稳定,不用担心药耗尽寸步难行。 总的来说,既有老派FC忍者游戏的热血味道,又加入大量现代游戏的巧思。不管喜欢硬核平台跳跃,还是喜欢银河城探索,都值得一试。
Its the only game that managed to make me lough
I played this game on the Switch when it came out, got stuck on a platforming section and put the game down for 4 years. Came back to it on Steam and had a much easier time with it after years of practice with other platformers. Amazing soundtrack, really fun platforming and boss fights. Love this game so much.
Jogo BOM, BONITO e com MUSICA BOA? esses são raros esse é com certeza um dos indies clássicos, vi esse jogo no programa "game over" (quando passava na tv) e logo de cara já deu uma vontade de jogar, e de verdade, recomendo demais. os gráficos do jogo (tanto os 8bit quanto os 16bit) são uma maravilha e ele é muito divertido, tanto no sentido de gameplay, que é fluido e preciso, quanto no sentido de historia e diálogos, eles fazem muitas sátiras e piadas com video games e cada uma delas é mais legal que a outra. e meu deus, as musicas desse jogo são muito legais! não são uma grande maravilha, mas em muitos momentos enquanto jogava me vi cantarolando elas algumas por serem boas, e outras por serem repetitivas. as musicas, pelo seus estilos, também são bem reconhecíveis ao escutar em outros lugares (vídeos no youtube,Etc), e pra mim isso é um ponto positivo! e se você espera surpresas e Easter eggs esse jogo é pra você! 8/10 divertido e com ótimo fator replay
It's good. A little long for what it was. Enemies a little repetitive. But the jokes were funny and the gameplay was fun; the late game was rewarding. I had a good time.
El juego es bueno!, las mecánicas son muy fáciles de dominar, lo único que le quita puntos al juego, es que te obliga a explorar, yo personalmente prefiero que eso sea opcional como es en el Cyber Shadows, otro gaiden de este estilo, que el cual es ampleamente superior a este. La dificultad de este juego es normal, los jefes son bastante fáciles, pero si te diera la opción de jugar mas lineal seria más divertido.
