What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Strategy game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $4.19. That was December 2025. Its cuts run 30 percent off as a rule. There have been 12 in the 17 months tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $4.19 at 30 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

Value puts it in the top 3 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 97 percent of its genre. On the same math Chillquarium ($5.99, scores 85) and Plantera 2: Golden Acorn ($4.99, scores 91) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

Of the 360 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 1 comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2025 to August 2026.
