On value it sits in the top 7 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 88 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Chronicon ($13.99, scores 95) beats it on value, while it beats Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas ($14.99, scores 49).

Of the 593 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 163 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

Honestly is was better than I expected. It's also cool that it ties up with the main game.

+ Not grindy even for full achievement. + Enemy and boss are interesting and not too frustrating + The story mystery is interesting. There is only one climax. - Music is mediocre - Rune mechanic is weird, you can ignore it unless you want to min-maxing.
