MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds2 of 378 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked

From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $3.99. That was March 2020. 63 discounts in the 7 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 28 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 60 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 72 percent. The nearest things to it, Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot ($14.99, scores 55) and Dead Age ($14.99, scores 57), are both worse buys on this math.

2 of the 378 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2021 to August 2026.

HowLongToBeat players log 2.3 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 29, 13 times as much.

What players say

Solid rogue auto battler. Charming Art, some story, nice roster of characters, solid mechanics, and a proper ascension style 20 levels of runs. I finished my A20 run, and I think that is where I am calling it, has not quite hooked me enough to 100% the achievements/omen side of things, but it was solid all around.
