The lowest price on record is $4.99, set in December 2022. It has been discounted 43 times in the 7 years tracked here, typically at 60 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 6 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 8 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Age of Mythology: Retold ($29.99, scores 74) and Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition ($13.99, scores 71).
Steam's global achievement data says about under 1 percent of players ever finish it. On a 42.8-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
