- North America and Europe account for 90 percent of the game's audience, with under 5 percent in Asia. Chinese user reviews on Steam sit at 57 percent positive, citing lack of localization options.
- Zero Company joins recent titles like The Blood of Dawnwalker and Onimusha: Way of the Sword, which also surpassed 1 million sales. This performance marks rare success in a crowded gaming market.
