The value story

It has never been cheaper than $9.99. That was February 2023. It has been discounted 37 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 40 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.

It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 62 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing ($14.99, scores 60) beats it on value, while it beats Tower of Babel: Survivors of Chaos ($12.99, scores 24).

This site sampled 731 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 26 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2022 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 3,162 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 285 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 5 of the 26 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 54 percent of the 403 reviews written there were positive, against 72 percent overall, and those are 26 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 19 hours. Doing everything runs 300, 16 times as long.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

What players say

*Disclaimer* - To start off, PLEASE ignore all the trolls playing the game for less than an hour and giving the game a negative review. This is a MASSIVE game and it's very difficult, so I hope you prefer the opinion of someone who has put enough time in to leave a valid review. --- Alaloth: Champions of The Four Kingdoms is a wonderful yet imperfect gem. Underneath an incredibly difficult first few hours, a strange...

Alaloth is a sandbox souls-like isometric dungeon crawler-a combination you don't see every day. It runs on Unity in pseudo-2D to emulate Infinity Engine-era games, but since it is Unity, expect FPS drops, stutters, and memory leaks. I personally suffer from time to time severe FPS drops when some fountain effect, snow, lighting, and vegetation are in sight-things that a game like this has no right to have. The 3D...

It reminds me of the original Diablo or Titan Quest. Just waves of enemies and random loot. Not having a fast travel option is a huge negative as well. If you like really old style games with minimal voice acting, lots of reading, and terrible quest markers, this is your game.
