It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, A Legionary's Life ($7.99, scores 64) beats it on value, while it beats Corpse Keeper ($19.99, scores 34).
Players rate it 83 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 53 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 7 of the 565 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 122 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
A very good game. At its hearts, this is a visual novel where you go through the life of a soldier. However, there are so many good mechanics that make this game where more interactive. You have combat, inventory management, choices that affect the story, and different love interests. The combat and rpg mechanics are very well done. I love the rogue lite twist where you can get a stronger character as you play more...
Great game for passing time, love the grind. Also getting DLC's pretty often with more content.
I just lost the best damn run I've had in a min... because this guy had to update the game mid week, now i can't craft my bois healing supplies >:( vent review ;"(
