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 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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.

Хорошая игра, чисто как деньги платформер Достаточно легкая
Скучная, сложная, душная. 5 часов смогли наиграть только 50% купивших. Платформер, надо по сто раз дрочить одно и то же место. Заучивать механики боссов. А у каменного босса будь добр ещё постоять секунд 15 перед каждым траем, посмотреть нескипаемую сцену. Она похожа на игру, это не прям скам, но рекомендовать, Я бы никому не стал.

次回作のSea of starsと世界観が地続きということでやってみたけど、忍者龍剣伝ほどスピード感も爽快感もないが、その分あそこまで難しくない。 が、即死トラップもちらほらあり、そのわりに戻しが長い。 即死穴かと思いきや隠しルートだったりするので、落ちてみないとそれがわからないのも、戻しの長さと相まってかなり不親切。 何よりムカつくのが、それなりに死ぬのを想定してるであろうのにも関わらず、デスペナがあり、なおかつ死ぬたびに謎のNPCが煽ってくる点。 次やろうという気を削いで一体何がしたいのかわからない。 壺おじやってるんとちゃうんやぞ。 BGMやグラフィックは流石といったところだが、ゲームプレイにかなり単調さが目立つ。 軽妙な掛け合いは嫌いじゃないが、NPCがいちいち厭味ったらしい割にゲームプレイは緻密なので普通にイライラする。 自機が妙に遅いのも相まってやる気が起きない。 レトロゲーリスペクトは結構だが、リスペクトと猿真似は違うと思う。
¡Una maravilla, mientras menos sepas [spoiler](aunque ya paso bastante tiempo desde que salió)[/spoiler] mejor! Lo había dejado colgado y ahora lo voy a terminar, vale mucho la pena si te gustan los juegos retro. El maguito/comerciante es genial y tira unas historias re buenas.
торговец офигенный
Hace como dos años un amigo me pasó por usb el juego (ya se la saben copia de respaldo guiño guiño) y me completé en una semana, es un juego mas que excelente ya que me hizo recordar a ninja gaiden por la estetica y me parecio mega genial que el presente esté a 8 bits y el futuro en 16 bits al estilo Sega Megadrive Ahora ya tengo la oportunidad de comprarme los juegos y me lo compré sin dudarlo ya qur quiero darle mi granito de arena a este estudio que creo esta joya
7/10 DROP IT the game were great until it suddenly turned into a metroidvania
Lindo, divertido, engraçado e surpreendentemente cheio de lições. Mesmo sendo uma homenagem, The Messenger tem muita identidade e carisma. 9/10
perfect music, gameplay and hilarious jokes
Fun 2D platformer that stands out with it’s fun gameplay and banging music. Looked forward to visiting the shop keeper with his witty storytelling which had me in knots of laughter on numerous occasions. Great.
