The value story

March 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $3.49. It has been discounted 28 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

Value puts it in the top 2 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 70 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. The nearest things to it, Cardboard Town ($19.99, scores 50) and Ratropolis ($17.99, scores 68), are both worse buys on this math.

Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 12 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2023 to September 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 698 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 582 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 84 percent of the 1,603 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.

At 6.5 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

Definitely fun and addicting!! The core gameplay loop is very satisfying: farming resources, selling for money to buy packs, opening packs, discovering blueprints, and then using them to build out and level up your village. I was able to complete the main quest line and 100% Steam achievements in about 12 hours. The first 2 hours were spent in Peace Mode learning the systems, and then the next 10 hours were one...

I absolutely love this game, it is so easy to get lost in playing and completely lose track of time. It's honestly a favourite that I can come back to again and again. While each game is similar, there are enough differences and things to explore that it's really fun every time. This game also allows for different playstyles, whether you are cautious with your approach, or want to throw yourself at everything. Do...

I love sokpop, they produce cheap simple game every now and then thats good for about 2-3 hours, but compared to their catalogue I think this game is my personal favorite, replayability is also good, theres a lot to do and advance, personally I'm the type to maximise the "base" content before advancing, even after my around 12-13 hours of playtime I still havent reached the end game lol.
