What drives the score
How to read this
Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
The value story
The lowest price on record is $9.99, set in December 2019. Its cuts run 10 percent off as a rule. There have been 3 in the 7 years tracked, about 14 weeks apart.
Value puts it in the top 5 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 94 percent. Among the games that feel like it, STAR WARS™ Galactic Battlegrounds Saga ($5.99, scores 85) beats it on value, while it beats Stormgate (free, scores 0).
8 of the 670 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 81 percent of the 631 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
nostalgic for the millenials. it gets updated once in a while so the graphics, game play and maybe new maps and new clans?
I remember playing this back in 2016 I loved the game, granted the original was much better but where else can you find the game without paying over hundreds of dollars on E-bay or Amazon. I would give it a 8/10 because the game graphics can be a little jank at times but otherwise still pretty good.
One of my most favourite childhood games, originally released in 2001 - a great japanese style fantasy game. I hope that some day there will be Battle Realms 2, would definitely buy it! :)
