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): 0.13/day in the week to Aug 3 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.

The game has serious and widespread game-breaking issues that prevent progress and completion in many different ways. From spending 10 hours to get a save that crashes to desktop every time it's opened, to spending 8 hours on a new save that is softlocked because of map generation failure, this game is not in a suitable state for a commercial release. If at some point this game has undergone a massive overhaul of rigorous testing and fixing, I might go back and try my currently-worthless saves again to see if the game can be finished. I would not start a new game just for that, and I do NOT recommend this game to anyone. As it stands, it's a waste of time.
I enjoyed the first couple hours for sure. After the first boss I was finding that not only was it starting to be boring with repetitive missions, the enemies were getting far more health than what my weapons could output. Eventually I had to lean on turrets to clear what used to be simple rooms. Towards the later levels in particular, if there were more than 4 enemies, my AA-12 shotgun simply wasn't enough. I tried switching to several different weapons like the mp5, P-Shooter (the only particle weapon I ever found), and several of the heat weapons but these enemies would easily soak up the damage I could deal and swarm me very quickly. I recommend people stay away from this one. If you really want to see what the good part is like, play the demo. after that, it's basically all down hill.

I've been seeing ads on this game and so excited for its release for MONTHS. Advertised as a "couch co-op" game. I pull up the couch, hook the pc up to the big screen, plug in the controllers, just to find out this is the clunkiest game I've played on a controller on PC in 10 years. So we try remote play together instead using mouse and keys because of how goofy, limited, and clunky the aiming is with controllers just to find out only one person can play with mouse and key. This game looks like it might be worth the 12 bucks on sale solo! But advertising as a couch co-op is criminal. Just introduce regular online co-op and it would be closer to "couch co-op" than its current state.
游戏点子不错,后期变身人型高达的点子很好,你可以同时操作不少武器,只要键位还有空。但是游戏难度平衡问题很大,首先是一直缺钱,因为你的负重和血量都大部分需要钱来做,系统还不允许你在低难度刷钱,做完就消失了,主线任务里几乎是推着你往越高难走,然后稀里糊涂打过第一场boss战后就是难度逆天的转折点了,后期的敌人会像疯了一样刷出来,长得像墓碑的monolith血又厚蓄力激光又快又准,1个已经很不好躲了,关闭刷兵传送门的任务它还库库刷,你干掉它的速度根本比不上它出来的速度,低重力环境下它能把你抽的像陀螺一样旋转。严重怀疑官方有没有设计过后期任务的难度曲线。
I wish Steam had a neutral option. The first few planets felt too easy and then the game jumps to a difficulty that is almost unplayable. Could be a skill issue on my end, maybe. I love the graphics and the soundtrack. I love the overall gameplay, albeit it starts to feel repetitive. I'm one planet away from Earth and after dying several times on my last level, I finally just did the objective and ran, taking damage along the way. After that, I just don't have the drive to keep playing until the end. It's clear the game gives you challenges so you can change up your loadout, which I am all here for, but it doesn't give you nearly enough slots to have an effective loadout. Any buffs to bullet damage or reload speed also seem totally unnoticeable. It's obvious the devs are passionate about their game and did such a fantastic job with it. I can't give this a negative review but I would like to see more balance in the gameplay before I return to it.
The beginning of the game seems fine at first and neat game easy to understand etc. love the graphics and game play. When doing loadouts, the big weapons suck because they require too much space in the loadout and too time to either recharge or reload even with the added passives when your in a bind that requires quick action against a bunch of aliens, but later when you get towards the end, the monoliths just rip you a new one and can't get past the overwhelming amounts of them that keeps spawning, Monoliths need to be toned down a bit and spawn rate of them shouldn't be crazy amounts. maybe its just me but monoliths even on normal difficulty solo is just impossible to get past when they spawn and spawn and no way to get to the vortal with out like 10 of them killing you all at the same time. I'm on the second to last mission, the galaxy garden mission and just can't do it solo, impossible, tried for about 4 hours straight with various loadouts and no matter what I'm overwhelmed and over powered by monoliths, I can clear the beginning but its getting back out to the portal is the problem, by the time i get the vorizum and attempt to fight back I'm met with impossible odds. I might just skip this mission. After playing around with some loadouts and attempting the last mission i couldn't beat, I was able to finally brain storm how to pass it even though it was a horrible vortal spot to get back to, great game for the price, I would say so.
敵の残った死体のせいで画面がカクつくのでロングゲームが出来ない。対処しきれない量の敵が出てくるので、敵のスポーンポイント場所を覚えて貫通タレットを置くしかない。覚えゲー。どの武器も似たり寄ったりでビルドの自由度は低い。悪くはないがおススメはできない。
Game is too annoying to be fun, loadout system is straight garbage, boss fights are tedious, some of the levels just make me want to tear my hair out. Combined with no bestiary and all the enemies feeling the same leads to frustration with choosing the correct loadout each time because some weapons will do basically no damage to the enemies. The levels all feel the same, basically the gunplay/combat is supposed to be the highlight of this game and it just falls so flat. The turrets especially are touted as being the big thing, but they're all so tedious to operate and so annoying. At this point I'm forcing myself to play because I'm over the 2 hour mark, the game was sorta fun for the first bit but now it's pure tedium and one annoyance after the other. Not to mention the story is so uninspired and uninteresting, it's like the game had so much potential but squanders it all
rescued ember but not omar, lol (omar is a progression tool, while ember is a story tool). got some kinks to work out but it's still a fun game
This game was fine and it worked fine, but I just didn't find it that fun. I think it needed some better enemy design, or better writing or something. Also found the bosses pretty uninspired. It absolutely works and is well made and does what it says on the tin. So if it looks really interesting to you I would get it. But it didn't quite hit with me and I have a million games, so I cannot recommend it.
