The value story

February 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $6.99. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 24 in the 3 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 84 percent. Among the games that feel like it, 秦殇 (Prince of Qin) ($0.99, scores 54) beats it on value, while it beats Xuan-Yuan Sword VII ($34.99, scores 8).

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 8 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written January 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 56 percent of the 527 reviews written there were positive, against 66 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

I'm conflicted. It has a good story, especially since I love the Three Kingdom tales and the games surrounding it. But I can't stand the control mechanism. It feels like I went back in time and I'm playing on the PS one instead of a updated PC with control mechanism that make combat efficient and more practical. It takes some getting used to - especially with the current trend of games and the graphics are nice and...
