The value story

The value story

Across all 87 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today's $0.99 at 90 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

It is pricier than 62 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. Dungeons 2 ($4.99, scores 63) outscores it, and so does Hammerting ($4.99, scores 2). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

Here you go, all the Review you'd ever need for this game, A lot of people have bagged this game out but fail to see it for what it was, The playtime for this game is the entire Campaign, around 14 - 15 hours. I'll lay everything in dot point for TLDR: - This game is quirky and has a moderate amount of depth - A variety of units and enemies but could do with more. - This game was obviously a sandbox of idea's all of...

It's so-so, I just can't play this it got me bored, it's not about the graphics it's just the game it's stale at least for me but it works and plays well so I'll give it that for such an old game.
ArchheroRecommendedafter 2.5hFeb 2026Read on Steam
This is unplayable in 2026 and not worth a purchase. I had constant crashing trying to get into the game. I had to lower my resolution to 1080p to work around that, only to discover that the UI doesn't scale very well at all. The tutorial is a joke as it gives you no real info and other than placing small objects into specific areas, there is no telling what these objects are doing as the heroes walk by them...
