The value story
September 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $5.24. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 35 in the 4 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $5.99 at 60 percent off still sits 14 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
It is less well reviewed than 90 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. The Last Spell ($24.99, scores 78) and Shogun Showdown ($7.49, scores 83) both outscore it.
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 49 percent of the 176 reviews written there were positive, against 66 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.
At 8.4 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

My favorite of the Kingdom Rush games. Emergent behavior appears from simple rules interactions. Scratches my tactical gaming itch.
