The value story
June 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $2.49. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 29 in the 6 years tracked, about 8 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 62 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 84 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Verdun ($19.99, scores 69) and Tannenberg ($19.99, scores 63) both outscore it.
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 27 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2023 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 651 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 103 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 27 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 42 percent of the 1,361 reviews written there were positive, against 63 percent overall, and those are 26 percent of everything written about it.
