The value story

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $19.99. That was November 2025. 16 discounts in the 2 years on record, a median of 20 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart.

Against its own genre its score lands in the top 1 percent. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. The nearest things to it, Choice of Life: Middle Ages 2 ($6.99, scores 76) and Reigns ($0.98, scores 76), are both worse buys on this math.

$30.09 is where it would stop being a BANGER.

More about Sultan's Game

83 from critics against 94 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 2 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 28.4-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 5 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2025 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 75 percent of the 853 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 28.4 hours; clearing it takes 88, which is 3.1 times the campaign.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

What players say

If you enjoy games that explore human nature, ideals, morality, and the weight of our choices, I highly recommend this one!!! As I got further into the game I kept asking myself: What truly matters to a person? When you are trying to achieve an outcome you believe is "right," is it acceptable to sacrifice other things that matter just as much? If sacrifice is necessary, how much can you give up before the ideal you...

This game is more fascinated than I expected. Basically you got thrown into the cruel game that you do morally questionable action or you die. Every character has well designed with depth, and the plot is beautifully written. I love how you need to plan well and be careful with every tiny detail as it can greatly affect the future plot. A wrong move can drive you away from a certain happy ending. I love the music...
