The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.59. That was November 2023. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 75 in the 7 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

It is less well reviewed than 98 percent of its genre. On the same math Mr.Mine (free, scores 77) and Graveyard Keeper ($19.99, scores 72) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

Of the 609 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 40 percent of the 273 reviews written there were positive, against 54 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.

The drop-off

89% start to 11% rarest

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

What players say

Tolles Spiel für zwischendurch mit viel Humor!Ich habe mittlerweile ca. 56 Stunden in Swag and Sorcery gesteckt. Als Gelegenheitsspiel macht es wirklich super viel Spass und ist perfekt für eine kurze Runde nebenbei. Der Mix aus Dorf-Management und dem Ausrüsten der Helden motiviert total. Besonders cool ist der humorvolle Ton des Spiels: Die Story nimmt das Fantasy-Genre mit einem eitlen König, Modeschauen für...
JumperRaptorRecommendedafter 55hAug 2026Read on Steam
Game is lackluster repetitive, non idler and automation, LEVELING up just through gold is dumb af. Game could have so much potential. I can't recomend.
