The value story

The lowest price on record is $1.49, set in June 2026. 62 discounts in the 8 years on record. They run about 90 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 95 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Welcome to ParadiZe ($29.99, scores 13) and Dungeons of Sundaria ($9.99, scores 42) both outscore it.

69 on Metacritic, 58 percent from players. A gap this way round is usually launch damage or a slow decline.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 9 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 10.1-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 17 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2020 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,162 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 531 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 37 percent of the 508 reviews written there were positive, against 58 percent overall, and those are 16 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (boost, cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.

10.1 hours to finish it, 39 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 3.9 times the campaign.

What players say

I've played this mainly coop with my wife. Very good key-smasher. Two players in the same account/game with two controllers working smoothly. The only (and huge) flaw of this game is the endgame. An infinite tower with more loot than you can manage to get, that, after 2 hours of carnage you stop, not because you die, but you're tired and can`t get more items into your inventory. I wish this game had more endgame...

I think the reviews are a bit too harsh personally. It's actually quite a decent game. While I agree it could've been better, it's not like it's explicitly bad or anything but I think the only people who would actually appreciate a game like this is someone who's already into the Warhammer fantasy universe and its lore. Like any Diablo clone, it's going to be repetitive as hell at some point, that's just a given and...
