The value story

The lowest price on record is $10.99, set in June 2026. It has been discounted 18 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Past sales have already crossed the $18.17 BANGER line 18 times.

On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and the best reviewed. Among the games closest to it, SteamWorld Heist II ($29.99, scores 76) and The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet Of Chaos ($34.99, scores 70) both come in lower.

87 from critics against 98 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

26 of the 539 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 743 reviews written there were positive, against 98 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 13.1 hours; clearing it takes 28, which is 2.1 times the campaign.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 13.1 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

Incredibly ingenious idea, very good execution. Natural and immersive dialogues that ooze personality, engaging combat and everything beautifully stylised. Very strong recommendation.

Gotta say, lil gem of a game. Hits the right spot of simple but calculated visuals, good writing, tactical combat that leaves nothing to RNG, good characters coming and going. I spent 99% of the time just genuinely enjoying the game, with no qualms or peeves that made me go "I wish there were mods", which is really extremely rare merch in these parts! Without spoilers, it's also very millennial. (note that my played...
