The value story

It has never been cheaper than $15.29. That was June 2021. Its cuts run 10 percent off as a rule. There have been 6 in the 5 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 91 percent. On the same math Kingdom Eighties ($11.99, scores 37) and Kingdom: New Lands ($14.99, scores 67) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

2 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 49 percent of the 307 reviews written there were positive, against 63 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

Deck Verified, so no launch options and no controller remapping before it runs.

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

really fun and good, too bad developers promised a lot and abandoned the game. war in ukraine likely played a part but developers just stopped posting updates and left everyone in the dark.
Karl MarxNot recommendedafter 17hAug 2026Read on Steam
This game is dead, the developers have completely abandoned it and have shown zero intentions to ever resume development. What it currently has: a single complete level, a rather charming artstyle, a faint trace of lore, and a few things promising more content that at some point might have been being worked on. i would not bother getting it unless its at the bare minimum of half off, and even then thats only if you...

OMG yes. Buy. This is the most satisfying and straightforward game I've played in years. If you like to grind, this is grind-tastic.
