The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.59, set in November 2023. 55 discounts in the 11 years on record. They run about 66 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 84 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. The nearest things to it, Swords and Sandals Classic Collection ($9.99, scores 78) and Wartales ($34.99, scores 68), are both worse buys on this math.

The press gave it 77; the people who bought it give it 96 percent. A 19-point gap in the buyer's favour.

Of the 337 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 84 percent of the 208 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 13 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

I like that it is a turn-based game, not "live" - there's no stress to playing, just enjoy the environment of the setting and while away an hour or so playing.

Lords II is a rather rare strategy game which has both full control turns and real time action sequences that gets your blood pumping, an excellent combination. It also offers a wide range of difficulty settings to suit a player's skill level, and the quick AI turn times keeps the game in motion.

This game is old but gold and still holds to the test of time, takes a while to figure out but its worth it
