The value story

It has never been cheaper than $17.99. That was September 2026. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 31 in the 5 years tracked, about 9 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 10 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 77 percent. Among the games that feel like it, FINAL FANTASY VI ($10.79, scores 87) beats it on value, while it beats FINAL FANTASY® XIII ($6.39, scores 47).

This site sampled 633 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written September 2021 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 67 percent of the 109 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.
