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.

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
I found the game enjoyable, only took a little over 8 hours to clear adventure mode. Also going to play through some of the rogue mode in local co-op next.
Очень интересная игра, брал из-за метки рогалик, но по факту это просто доп режим. Интересная концепция ограничения снаряжения, постоянно приходится выбирать с чем играть. не очень понял энергетические пушки из-за нагрева ими нормально не по пользуешься да и очков снаряжения много стоят. На высоком уровне сложности вообще бесполезны так как противников толпы и зажимают очень быстро. Игра классная и стоит своих денег! Все кто будет играть знайте, для почти каждой миссии нужен свой билд, если не получается попробуйте собраться прямо с нуля (одну миссию долго не мог пройти в итоге пошел без оружия но с турелями и это сработало) Всем советую
Yeah it's good. I feel like it's pretty unique in its gameplay style. Not really much else to say, but you'll have a fun time!
Grosse pepite! Ca fesait longtemp que je n'avais pas passer un exelent moment sur un topdown shooter. Dans la lignée d'un Gungeon. carrément.
6/10 Gets stale quite quickly and I feel no inclination to play through it again. But, it's solid enough and quite fun whilst it lasts but nothing ground breaking. Wait for a sale to be blunt.
This game has everything i love pulled from multiple games but has its own flavor. LOADOUTS MATTER. The pacing feels good. The MUSIC. I love the whole vibe. Dying use to hurt, but encourages delving into loadout builds.
I really enjoy this game after work, the atmosphere and BGM is very well done. I hope this game succeeds.
Wow this game brings back memories of playing top down shooters as a kid! Really love the visuals and the atmosphere. Vortica is a great top-down take on extraction shooters, with a story mode and a roguelite mode. Build your loadout with limited space (that can be upgraded!) and then venture out into different space stations to fight bugs and collect loot! One part I love is you get to keep and use all the loot from each "run" going into a space station. So while you may only go into each mission with a turret and pistol, you may come out with spinning tops of doom, a flamethrower, jump boots, health upgrades, etc. It feels like an extraction shooter take on Binding of Isaac, and it's just so satisfying to play. I'll add more to my review as I continue in the adventure mode and roguelite modes. There's also a custom mode, too, where you can experiment with different variables and difficulty settings. Strongly recommend this game!
