Lel, I read the title as Starfy. Thought it was a kickstarter game about the The Legendary Starfy.

STRAFE is the Mass Effect: Andromeda of indie throwback shooters.

20,000 people own the game

costs 20 dollars.

$400000 revenue on steam, not including steam fees, unity fees etc.

Cost to make the game: very likely not a great deal, aside from that marketing trailer.

Make a snazzy marketing trailer, make some promises, and you win at indie game development.

This is why I hate the game industry, the "professional" critics, and the audience that time and time again falls for decent marketing.

They also had backing from Devolver, and cost of development was nothing because of Kikestarter. It really is probably the emptiest experience of a game I have ever played. The only memorable thing about it is the fact that it was so forgettable.
