The value story
The lowest price on record is $0.99, set in April 2026. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 18 in the 3 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today's $1.99 at 60 percent off still sits 101 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 64 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Dungeons 3 ($29.99, scores 87) beats it on value, while it beats Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders ($19.99, scores 68).
4 of the 398 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 312 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 25 percent of everything written about it.

I adore this game so much, but its such a shame that it constantly crashes. sometimes its okay but then sometimes 30 mins into your game itll just shut the game down and save 0 progress so you have to start that whole level again, really big shame.

Lets start with the good since the list is short: +graphic update +the funny announcer voice lines + casino jackpot dance (disco inferno) +building QoL +unlocked rooms which (combined with temple) gives the player ways to manipulate their creature pool +rebalanced many overtuned units + simplified their...
this is a game i keep coming back to, the sandbox elements as well as the "tower defense" challenges make it a classic top down game. I wish there were more like it!
