A shooty, slashy, RPG-y game mixing retro and modern sensibilities. A blend of influences from Gauntlet & Smash TV to Zelda & Angband, Ampersat is a handcrafted adventure but with appeal to Roguelite fans. Battle ASCII creatures in colorful areas & free letters to return language to the village!

Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of Ampersat steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

This graph shows Ampersat's Steam rating and reviews between May 2022 and December 2023. Steam's rating oscillates between 89.1% (July 2022) and 81.6% (December 2023).

Considering the 60 reviews, and if it didn't take too long to make the game, Ampersat could be a small indie success. The chart looks like a long tail distribution, which sometimes means that the marketing was concentrated on the game launch and then stopped, and that no major update or discounts followed.

Time Played

Chart displaying Ampersat percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time players have spent in Ampersat depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time played is decent, reaching 9 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 6 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 27 minutes), it can be a sign that the game crashes on some systems or that players misunderstood the nature of the game (Does the Steam page clearly explain it, with gifs and a gameplay video ?). It can also mean that some players were somehow offended by Ampersat and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.
