The value story

It has never been cheaper than $14.99. That was April 2025. It has been discounted 34 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales.

Value puts it in the top 14 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 84 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Creeper World 4 ($24.99, scores 57) beats it on value, while it beats Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator 2 ($19.99, scores 41).

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 20 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2021 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 651 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 262 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 56 percent of the 376 reviews written there were positive, against 82 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 13 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say

Fantastic game! Geometa nailed both the atmosphere and the core mechanics. There really isn't much to complain about regarding bugs or systems, it's a remarkably well rounded title. As for constructive criticism, I have a few personal thoughts. As many negative reviews suggest, the game can "feel" unfinished despite technically ticking all the boxes for its genre. It isn't just one single issue, but rather a...

This is a good game. There is enough variety and the strategic elements hit the mark. It has a small learning curve, though with experimentation you sort through the basic requirements to succeed in your objectives. However, the AI seems to be assisted quite a bit when it comes to fairness of play. For myself, playing and getting better at any game comes with experience. This game (like most others out there), uses...
