What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical RPG game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $12.40, set in June 2026. It has gone on sale once in the 3 months tracked here, most recently in June 2026.

It is pricier than 80 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 81 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Heroes' Vow: Three Kingdoms ($17.99, scores 51) beats it on value, while it beats Arms Trade Tycoon: Tanks ($29.99, scores 11).

Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 8 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 566 reviews written there were positive, against 67 percent overall, and those are 33 percent of everything written about it.
