The game can be either cheap or expensive depending on you. If you constantly go for new premium kits, abuse additional services and such then you better have a well-stuffed wallet or you'll go bankrupt.

But just going with the base Hunter's Life Course and optionally Extra Course you're set out pretty cheap. Of course, you do have to play the game and get things done to get the buck for your money.
