What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.
Holding it back
Reviews75% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $7.99. That was June 2026. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 25 in the 6 years tracked, about 11 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 62 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Cold Waters ($39.99, scores 46) beats it on value, while it beats Aircraft Carrier Survival ($19.99, scores 4).

12 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 45 percent of the 236 reviews written there were positive, against 75 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.
