A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

And it's also very good, from the brief bit of it that I've played - which, hands up, was maybe a bit of a surprise to me too. It's out today in early access on Steam, it's free-to-play with optional microtransactions, and it does suffer from a bad case of fonts. And if we're being brutal, there is a touch of the less-fashionable mobile game to it all, too, thanks to a mish-mash
