The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.49. That was December 2025. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 28 in the 4 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $2.49 at 75 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

Value puts it in the top 6 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 93 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Choice of Life: Middle Ages 2 ($6.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats Ash of Gods: Redemption ($24.99, scores 35).

10 of the 435 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 79 percent of the 412 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 29 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

Was forced to name my infant daughter Vincent the 2nd. Overthrown by the south and replaced by an exact doppelganger. 10/19, would be murdered again.

Similiar to jackbox party, as in one player needs to purchase, others join through a browser. This is very high quality! It can be a bit difficult to get at first, and the language can be really hard to understand for non-native English speakers. Once you do get it, though, it's REALLY fun! Absolutely recommended on a sale!
ep_bellddRecommendedafter 2.2hAug 2026Read on Steam
Unique gameplay with a lot of variables and scenarios depending on who you're playing with. A few points deducted for the fact the scenarios do get a bit repetitive but I'd recommend it overall.
