This chart shows Iwaihime's Steam rating and reviews from October 2020 to December 2023. Steam's rating oscillates between 89% (November 2020) and 82.7% (November 2023).
With 589 reviews Top 20%, Iwaihime could be an indie success or even a small AAA success. The chart looks like a long tail distribution, which sometimes means that the marketing was concentrated on the game launch and then stopped, and that no major update or discounts followed.
Review Languages
This doughnut graph shows Iwaihime's reviewers languages. The most popular language is Simplified Chinese (58%), followed by English (26%). There is a nice diversity in the reviews, with 14 languages represented. The game is available in 4 languages. Unless the game has a lot of dialogues, translating is usually not a lot of work compared to completing a game, therefore adding more translations is generally recommended.
Time Played
This chart displays the time players have spent in Iwaihime, comparing positive and negative reviews. The time played is adequate, reaching 28 hours in the 80th percentile.
The median play time for the negative reviews is similar to the median for positive reviews, hinting that there is no significant difference in the player's experience and that is more a question of personal taste. A high negative review play time (median : 13 hours) could mean that Iwaihime crashes after a while or becomes too repetitive or difficult in the end. You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.
