The value story

The value story

It has been discounted 77 times in the 11 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 65 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. Manor Lords ($39.99, scores 45) outscores it, and so does The Guild 3 ($29.99, scores 10). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

63 on Metacritic, 48 percent from players. A gap this way round is usually launch damage or a slow decline.

None of the 242 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 21 percent of the 212 reviews written there were positive, against 48 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 12 hours; clearing it takes 28, which is 2.3 times the campaign.

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Holding it back
Cost per hour$1.67/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
DRMThird-party DRM
Third-party copy protection, a small friction discount
For context
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds0 of 242 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

What players say

This is a solid game, which I still come back to. Great economy and empire expansion playability. Would love if more games leaned into those features.
