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 RPG game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $7.99, set in December 2025. 8 discounts in the 15 months on record. They run about 20 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 5 weeks ago.

Value puts it in the top 5 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 67 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Travellers Rest ($17.99, scores 68) beats it on value, while it beats 美女,请别影响我成仙 ($10.99, scores 66).

Of the 367 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2025 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 91 percent of the 141 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.
