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
- 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 $5.83. That was June 2026. It has been discounted 22 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today's $5.99 at 25 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 6 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 94 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Ages of Conflict: World War Simulator ($5.24, scores 90) beats it on value, while it beats Arms Trade Tycoon: Tanks ($29.99, scores 11).
Of the 750 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 39 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 736 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 77 percent of the 1,174 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 28 percent of everything written about it.
No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
