The value story

The lowest price on record is $8.99, set in May 2025. It has been discounted 30 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 60 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. It becomes a BANGER at $13.34, a level the record has reached 18 times.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 4 percent on value. It is pricier than 89 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Xenonauts ($24.99, scores 74) beats it on value, while it beats XCOM® 2 ($19.99, scores 64).

75 from critics against 93 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

Steam's global achievement data puts 28 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. Of the 411 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 1 comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2023 to August 2026.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 14.2 hours it is short enough to finish on one.
