The value story

The lowest price on record is $1.99, set in August 2026. Its cuts run 70 percent off as a rule. There have been 72 in the 7 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 21 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 68 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Judgment: Apocalypse Survival Simulation ($19.99, scores 59) beats it on value, while it beats Endzone 2 ($29.99, scores 13).

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 10 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2023 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 53 percent of the 815 reviews written there were positive, against 77 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 22.7 hours; clearing it takes 80, which is 3.5 times the campaign.

What players say

This recommendation is highly dependant on the price, but Steam doesn't allow a "maybe". If you can get it under 5 eurobucks, I'd say it's worth it. More than that, no. A lot of games released in the last 5 years seem to be made by writers and artists with little or no technical knowledge, and as a result end up with good graphics, music and voice acting, but the game itself is buggy and sluggish even on modern CPUs...
IrritantRecommendedafter 20hSep 2026Read on Steam
Slow Burn. This is a base building game, something to play while you are in a chill mood. None of the adrenaline rush, but all of the dopamine rush when you successfully achieve your objectives.
IndosidiusRecommendedafter 210hSep 2026Read on Steam
No, after all this time, achievements just won't fire and the game itself is swingy.
