The value story

The value story

Across all 109 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 62 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 96 percent. On the same math Crusader Kings II (free, scores 77) and Crusader Kings III ($49.99, scores 78) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

Inside the two-hour refund window, 44 percent of the 114 reviews written there were positive, against 57 percent overall, and those are 30 percent of everything written about it.

A rushed, bare-bones tech demo meant to test engine mechanics for Crusader Kings II, possessing none of the depth and so little charm that even Paradox forgot it exists.
