It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 71 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Tower of Time ($24.99, scores 63) beats it on value, while it beats Age of Reforging: The Freelands ($29.99, scores 23).
Steam's global achievement data puts about 5 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 22.5-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 6 of the 535 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 56 percent of the 126 reviews written there were positive, against 70 percent overall, and those are 16 percent of everything written about it.
