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
March 2013 is where it bottomed out, at $1.24. It has been discounted 3 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 66 percent off, with about 255 weeks between sales.
It is cheaper than 61 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 96 percent. On the same math Of Guards And Thieves (free, scores 60) and Super Animal Royale (free, scores 82) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
Inside the two-hour refund window, 36 percent of the 162 reviews written there were positive, against 49 percent overall, and those are 59 percent of everything written about it.
The drop-off

Bunch of Heroes scores 0/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/111400/bunch-of-heroesThe 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 Aug 2, price as of Sep 24.
