The value story
December 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $13.59. Its cuts run 10 percent off as a rule. There have been 13 in the 2 years tracked, about 9 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended yesterday.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 23 percent on value. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 78 percent. Among the games that feel like it, VOIN ($19.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats Asgard's Fall — Viking Survivors ($9.99, scores 49).
Players rate it 90 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 72 percent. Something recent has soured the room. This site sampled 767 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 8 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written September 2024 to August 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, 533 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 81 percent of the 340 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.
