What drives the score
How to read this
Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
- How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical RPG game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $6.99. That was December 2017. Its cuts run 30 percent off as a rule. There have been 86 in the 9 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 27 percent on value. It is pricier than 89 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 86 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Old World ($39.99, scores 53) beats it on value, while it beats Victoria 3 ($49.99, scores 28).
7 of the 381 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026.

Inside the two-hour refund window, 66 percent of the 166 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.
