The value story
It has never been cheaper than $9.99. That was October 2021. It has been discounted 50 times in the 8 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales.
Value puts it in the top 25 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 79 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Men of War: Assault Squad 2 ($29.99, scores 85) beats it on value, while it beats Steel Division: Normandy 44 ($19.99, scores 37).
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 19 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2023 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 825 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 51 percent of the 546 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (time-limited); the score docks it lightly for that.

What players say
I've played other Eugen RTS like Warno and Wargame Red Dragon extensively but I couldn't get into this, The 60 hours is including a bunch of hours it was paused while I did other stuff. Potential buyers have to be aware, the mod scene is dead, the way modding for Eugen games works is any update no matter how minor completely 100% breaks every single mod, the vast majority of mods on the workshop might as well be...
What kind of idiot would spend 300 dollars to play a game with no one else on and no way to play the dlc besides the few campaigns offered, most only having 1 which are not fun enough to replay ever. This game is dead as hell and the pricing makes it look like it's a grand strategy game with thousands of hours of content when they're the same 10 units reshuffled over and over for mostly a game mode you have to play...
Part of a long string of really bad games from eugen. Instead of making a good wargame they made this, warno, and then broken arrow. What a shame this studio came so close to making a good game with red dragon then just took the most horrific nose dive I've ever seen.
