The value story

The lowest price on record is $1.99, set in June 2019. 42 discounts in the 11 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 12 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 77 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Gnomoria ($14.99, scores 30) and Production Line : Car factory simulation ($24.99, scores 38) both outscore it.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 5 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 29.1-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. None of the 229 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 38 percent of the 247 reviews written there were positive, against 68 percent overall, and those are 22 percent of everything written about it.

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

What players say

Recommend buying on sale, 20 bucks is steep for the content provided. Great soundtrack and art style, fun to play casually, but repetitive. Fun for me since i havent played many city builders before, but even so it dies after a while.

That game is like it was crafted for me. I played a lot of Pharaoh when I was younger, and Lethis completely brought me back 15 years earlier, with all the features I loved and none of those I hated (yes, war fighting, I'm looking at you). Plus some new stuff like Steam management that only adds more challenge to the building. And it was made by French peeps, what's not to love?

Welcome to the game of Crash-a-lot where one wonders how such as simple game could be so unstable. I do not recommend it as its unstable.
