The value story
It has never been cheaper than $12.49. That was December 2023. It has been discounted 63 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales.
It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 90 percent. On the same math War for the Overworld ($29.99, scores 59) and Reus 2 ($9.99, scores 89) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
This site sampled 799 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 13 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 58 percent of the 195 reviews written there were positive, against 63 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.
