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
- 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 $0.99, set in September 2025. Its cuts run 70 percent off as a rule. There have been 46 in the 4 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 80 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Professional Fishing (free, scores 43) beats it on value, while it beats Russian Fishing 4 (free, scores 10).
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 23 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 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 248 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 3 of the 23 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 45 percent of the 551 reviews written there were positive, against 67 percent overall, and those are 27 percent of everything written about it.
