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
- How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Strategy game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
The value story
December 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $5.99. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 16 in the 5 years tracked, about 12 weeks apart. Today's $7.49 at 50 percent off still sits 25 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Value puts it in the top 3 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 81 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Universe Sandbox ($29.99, scores 75) beats it on value, while it beats The Last Starship ($11.99, scores 31).
Of the 589 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 13 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 87 percent of the 645 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.
