The value story

The lowest price on record is $7.49, set in March 2018. It has been discounted 77 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.

It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 84 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Age of Wonders ($5.99, scores 53) beats it on value, while it beats Might & Magic® Heroes® VII ($7.49, scores 2).

Of the 656 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 3 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to July 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 41 percent of the 149 reviews written there were positive, against 66 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

Any game that makes you create a second account on bs launcher is garbage, it somehow forgets your info every few months and have to change your password constantly

A Ubisoft service is unavailab.e I have no idea what that means or how to fix it. Suddenly I just cna't play the game anymore and that's that. Steam has my money and I have absolutely nothing.

Ubisoft killed the game. computer enemies were always bad, not better in this version.
