What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Strategy game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $5.49, set in June 2024. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 64 in the 7 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 35 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 78 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Judgment: Apocalypse Survival Simulation ($19.99, scores 59) beats it on value, while it beats Gnomoria ($14.99, scores 30).

This site sampled 599 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 8 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 129 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.
