The value story
July 2017 is where it bottomed out, at $0.79. Its cuts run 80 percent off as a rule. There have been 122 in the 12 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 98 percent of its genre. The nearest things to it, Hero of the Kingdom ($7.99, scores 84) and Hero of the Kingdom III ($9.99, scores 46), are both worse buys on this math.
On this data it would still be a BANGER at $7.89. It costs $1.34.
None of the 332 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 67 percent of the 100 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Biggest advantage here is that it's pretty easy to use an infinite money loop to make money a non-issue for the rest of the game. This cuts out a lot of the grinding and makes the game more pleasant.
Not a whole lot different than Hero of the Kingdom, this time instead of searching for your dad kidnapped by bandits, you're searching for your sister kidnapped by pirates. Probably the biggest difference from the first game is that new areas are unlocked much more quickly, so there's a lot more bouncing around locations to find the items you need and quests to complete. Anyhow, this game is more-or-less the same as...
I'm not sure how this game got such high ratings. It's a passable diversion for several hours but has little depth or challenge.
