The value story
March 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $10.49. Its cuts run 66 percent off as a rule. There have been 52 in the 5 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 93 percent. StarMade ($14.99, scores 15) outscores it, and so does Starship EVO ($24.99, scores 53). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
6 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 39 percent of the 660 reviews written there were positive, against 55 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.
