Value puts it in the top 35 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Phantom Doctrine ($39.99, scores 38) beats it on value, while it beats Blood Bowl 3 ($29.99, scores 0).
Players rate it 75 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 59 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 6 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 48 percent of the 890 reviews written there were positive, against 75 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.
