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 RPG game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $10.79. That was June 2026. It has been discounted 20 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales.
Value puts it in the top 8 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 81 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. FINAL FANTASY V ($10.79, scores 79) and FINAL FANTASY VI ($10.79, scores 87) both outscore it.
3 of the 532 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 71 percent of the 178 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.
