The value story

Across all 27 discounts in the 4 years tracked, the median cut is 80 percent, about 9 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 91 percent. Rise of Industry ($29.99, scores 31) outscores it, and so does Another Brick in The Mall ($16.99, scores 64). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

The drop-off

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

This game is pointless, everything you do you always upset everyone no matter what you try to do, and they'll eat and drink to the point of bursting their bellies, not to mention there's people willing to just steal grain, no really just steal every grain because why not. Don't buy this, the devs just abandoned it.

Don't bother with getting this game. its easy to figure out the ratio of buildings to the different classes of people you have in you're city. once you figure it out the game is boring.
