The value story

The lowest price on record is $6.99, set in June 2026. 46 discounts in the 7 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games closest to it, Ruined King: A League of Legends Story™ ($29.99, scores 73) and Grimm's Hollow (free, scores 93) both come in lower.

$34.78 is where it would stop being a BANGER. It is priced at $19.99.

86 from critics against 97 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

2 of the 438 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 193 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 25.5 hours; clearing it takes 52, which is 2.0 times the campaign.

One of my favorite games of all time! I love the story this game tells and the world this game builds. The gameplay is engaging all the way through though the exact difficult curve can be hard to adhere to, but that is largely because of the vast amount of options you have in combat. and that is incredibly juicy, and i would not change anything about the combat fantastic music and visuals, its a really immersive...

Get this game. Probably the best RPG I've ever played. Lovable characters, a fun combat system, beautiful atmosphere and world-building, this game has almost everything you want in an RPG and more! I just 100% the game with its "Plus" mod, and I couldn't recommend the game enough to people who've been thinking on trying it out. This game is worth your time, and in my opinion, definitely worth the price that it is. ...
