The value story
It has never been cheaper than $10.55. That was June 2026. 29 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 20 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 10 percent on value. It is pricier than 71 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games closest to it, As Far As The Eye ($4.99, scores 28) and Gladiator Guild Manager ($14.99, scores 54) both come in lower.
Of the 429 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 4 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 120 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

What players say
Scratches that Civilization "one more turn" itch, while being a better designed games with balanced challenges in the early, mid, and late game.
this game is gud civilization but it's a roguelike the strategy is deep, and when you figure it out, there's always another character to learn
I have just won my first ever run of this game (my own fault, I have not been good at it), using both DLCs. You look at the hours this milestone took and come to your own conclusions on if this game is fun.
