The value story

May 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $3.99. It has been discounted 23 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 10 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.

On value it sits in the top 42 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 64 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 62 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Cat Bait ($2.74, scores 75) beats it on value, while it beats FatalZone ($6.99, scores 17).

1 of the 604 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2024 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 68 percent of the 254 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.

At 5.7 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

Seriously enjoying this game. I love all the character designs, everything is so cute. The powers seem worth it to try and go for different builds rather than stay with the one you know works. The only problem I'm facing currently is it feels like I hit a huge wall in Kingdom Level 2. I finished up Kingdom Level 1 within 5 or 6 attempts, and can now clear it with no issues. I beat Hell level 1 within two attempts...

fun necromancy army builder with good balance and fantastic art style. also an excellent game if you only have a half-hour to game here and there. still in early access i believe, so i'm expecting more fun gameplay to come!

I've always had the desire to have a horde of men bow before me, and now I have a game to scratch that sadistic itch. Love the game. Highly recommended.
