The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.24. That was May 2022. 83 discounts in the 9 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 13 weeks ago.

On value it sits in the top 12 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 83 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 87 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Xenonauts ($4.99, scores 74) beats it on value, while it beats Unity of Command II ($29.99, scores 51).

This site sampled 344 of its Steam-purchase reviews; none were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026.
