The value story

The lowest price on record is $7.49, set in October 2026. It has been discounted 6 times in the 18 months tracked here, typically at 40 percent off, with about 14 weeks between sales. Today's $7.49 at 50 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 49 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 64 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Gunner, HEAT, PC! ($29.99, scores 48) beats it on value, while it beats WWII Online (free, scores 0).

Of the 561 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 34 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2025 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 47 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 34 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 68 percent of the 487 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 29 percent of everything written about it.
