The value story
The lowest price on record is $8.74, set in April 2026. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 23 in the 2 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 98 percent. On the same math Stellar Tactics ($24.99, scores 32) and Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones ($19.99, scores 17) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
Steam's global achievement data puts about 2 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 19.7-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 349 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 18 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,162 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 22 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 6 of the 18 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review.
The main story runs 19.7 hours. Doing everything runs 45, 2.3 times as long.
The drop-off
