The value story

The lowest price on record is $3.99, set in October 2026. It has been discounted 20 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 33 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today's $3.99 at 60 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

Take the discount away and it is a 54. With it, 60.

On value it sits in the top 8 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 61 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. Among the games that feel like it, NOBUNAGA'S AMBITION: Souzou ($24.99, scores 72) beats it on value, while it beats Supremacy: 1914 (free, scores 35).

23 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2025 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 65 percent of the 1,699 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

This game's AI is so incredibly stupid, and the diplomacy system is completely broken. I just got over a dozen countries declare war on me even though I had active treaties and maxed out relations with all of them. So much gamebreaking nonsense. It frustrates me to no end because this game would be a lot better if I didn't have to throw a playthrough in the trash everytime I get 50-150+ years in.
