What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Strategy game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is

MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way

Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked

The value story

December 2013 is where it bottomed out, at $1.99. 37 discounts in the 13 years on record. They run about 66 percent off, roughly 12 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 49 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 61 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Stonehearth ($19.99, scores 45) beats it on value, while it beats Life is Feudal: Forest Village ($24.99, scores 12).

Of the 290 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 1 comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 43 percent of the 334 reviews written there were positive, against 75 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.
