The value story
It has never been cheaper than $8.99. That was November 2025. Its cuts run 70 percent off as a rule. There have been 30 in the 7 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 13 percent on value. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 84 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition ($39.99, scores 81) beats it on value, while it beats Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues (free, scores 0).
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 13 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2024 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 2,030 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.

What players say
Grindy game way too much back tracking and poor design choices only buy on sale if its under 10 bucks not worth investment at all.
Devs abandoned the game for a new game, without fixing glaring issues/bugs or implementing an offline mode for this game, even when they knew their servers are horrendously bad.. Scummy. We funded their next project, not this one.. Can't recommend and i'm definitely not buying anything else from this developer again.
Pretty solid game. The stamina mechanic is a nice change of pace without disrupting the monster battler formula too much. Music is great. Playing co-op with a friend has thus far been flawless. My only real complaint is I wish there were more tems. As is, you'll very quickly find yourself moving through wild areas, running into the same handful of tems over and over. It's just a little disappointing is all.
