The value story

It has never been cheaper than $11.24. That was August 2026. It has gone on sale 2 times in the 7 months tracked here, most recently in August 2026.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 17 percent on value. It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 82 percent. Among the games that feel like it, FINAL FANTASY XIV Online ($19.99, scores 64) beats it on value, while it beats Islands of Insight ($29.99, scores 33).

Of the 545 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 12 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 39 percent of the 162 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 13 percent of everything written about it.
