It is less well reviewed than 99 percent of its genre. The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin (free, scores 4) outscores it, and so does Starward (free, scores 11). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

It is still busy. 180 players were online when we last checked, on Nov 1, 16:47 UTC, across 35 days of weekly checks.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • Player count is unknown. We assumed a small player base, about 500 owners.
  • Steam lists in-app purchases but we have no detail on them. Small caution applied.
