Value puts it in the top 5 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 84 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Ascension: Deckbuilding Game ($9.99, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Eternal Card Game (free, scores 44).

11 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 55 percent of the 311 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.
