The value story
The lowest price on record is $12.49, set in June 2026. It has been discounted 21 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales.
It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 77 percent. On the same math Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader ($14.99, scores 75) and Legends of Eisenwald ($19.99, scores 45) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
This site sampled 503 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 10 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written October 2023 to August 2026.
