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

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $9.99. That was June 2026. Its cuts run 35 percent off as a rule. There have been 26 in the 3 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 16 percent on value. It is pricier than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 83 percent. The nearest things to it, Medieval Kingdom Wars ($14.99, scores 39) and Home Wars ($9.99, scores 39), are both worse buys on this math.

This site sampled 481 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 17 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written February 2024 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 651 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 167 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 244 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 26 percent of everything written about it.
