The value story
It has never been cheaper than $29.99. That was May 2026. 11 discounts in the 2 years on record. They run about 40 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today's $29.99 at 50 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
At full price it scores 43. The current cut is what makes it a 50.
On value it sits in the top 17 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 66 percent. Among the games that feel like it, FINAL FANTASY VI ($10.79, scores 87) beats it on value, while it beats 再刷一把 PlayAgain ($8.99, scores 15).
Players rate it 78 percent positive over its lifetime, and the last 30 days run 92 percent. It is aging into a better game than its average suggests. 10 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 210 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.

It's alright. Graphically it looks pretty good but the gameplay and story are incredibly boring.
