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

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.
Holding it back
Reviews84% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones Scored as 83% after the small-sample adjustment
Refunds39 of 600 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is
For context

How many own it, by SteamSpy's estimate (an old snapshot). Context here: this game's score does not use it

No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way

The value story

The lowest price on record is $17.49, set in December 2023. It has been discounted 51 times in the 7 years tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.

It is pricier than 82 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 62 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Blade and Sorcery ($29.99, scores 97) beats it on value, while it beats Legendary Tales ($39.99, scores 26).

This site sampled 600 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 39 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2022 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 59 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 4 of the 39 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 61 percent of the 873 reviews written there were positive, against 84 percent overall, and those are 23 percent of everything written about it.
