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.

Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Early accessUnfinished
Still in development, a small confidence discount until 1.0
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $13.99. That was August 2023. 45 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 35 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 37 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 81 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Stellaris ($14.99, scores 59) beats it on value, while it beats Galactic Civilizations IV ($39.99, scores 21).

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 7 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 58 percent of the 322 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements
