The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.39. That was April 2025. 54 discounts in the 6 years on record. They run about 70 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 69 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 70 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Badlands Crew - Drive, Command, Conquer ($18.99, scores 47) beats it on value, while it beats Between the Stars ($29.99, scores 35).

Of the 672 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 10 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 47 percent of the 202 reviews written there were positive, against 74 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.
