What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Strategy game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $11.99. That was March 2021. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 42 in the 11 years tracked, about 8 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 7 percent on value. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games closest to it, TRYP FPV: Drone Racer Simulator ($16.99, scores 45) and Uncrashed : FPV Drone Simulator ($14.99, scores 60) both come in lower.

4 of the 777 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 66 percent of the 515 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.

8 years after release, 552 people were playing it when we last checked, on Sep 29, 20:46 UTC.
