Holding it back
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones. Scored as 75% after the small-sample adjustment
Reach75K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
DRMStardock account needed
Needs a second account on top of Steam, a small friction discount
For context
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds2 of 376 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

What players say

This game was my childhood and was a core influence on a lot of things I ended up liking as a teen and adult. I wish it worked better on modern hardware sometimes.

Because the Rook. I am a walking castle and a walking castle is ME. Also the AI is great to play with.

You need to spend 1 minute creating an account, and alt tabbing will probably crash the entire game, but it's pretty fun even now, 15 years later.
