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

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $18.74, set in November 2019. Its cuts run 25 percent off as a rule. There have been 31 in the 7 years tracked, about 11 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 41 percent on value. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 77 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Guild II Renaissance ($2.49, scores 67) beats it on value, while it beats The Guild 3 ($7.49, scores 11).

10 of the 507 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 436 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 54 percent of the 151 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.

No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
