What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
November 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $4.99. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 54 in the 6 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $4.99 at 75 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
On value it sits in the top 27 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 82 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 68 percent. Among the games that feel like it, LONESTAR ($5.19, scores 73) beats it on value, while it beats Dead Age ($14.99, scores 57).
3 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2020 to September 2026. In its first 30 days on sale, none of 127 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 75 percent of the 296 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Honestly just mad at the missed potential of this game. All they needed to do, and I mean this literally, is fix a few small things and this game would be a hard recommend for everyone. It's so approachable, generally fun, gets you thinking. Has loads of fun items and weapons. But they stopped updating the game and left all these baffling choices in place. - It's a strategy game that doesn't tell you the actual...
The best thing about this roguelike dungeon crawler is a pair of enemies that reference Bioshock. Apart from that, the soundtrack, visuals and the elements mechanic are alright - but everything else just feels like it doesn't work. - Boss fights feel poorly designed; as in they don't allow certain builds, they take a long time to get through and every now and then you'll get caught off-guard by an instant-cast skill...
Love the game, but why isn't it compatible with steam deck? Do something about it! 🥲🥲🥲🥲
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Crown Trick scores 65/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/1000010/crown-trickThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 18, price as of Sep 24.
