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

Holding it back

Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach350K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
For context
Value$1.40/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
Length10 hours
Typical playtime on HowLongToBeat. Endless games score on players, so hours stay out of it
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds5 of 800 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

The lowest price on record is $9.79, set in January 2025. Its cuts run 33 percent off as a rule. There have been 43 in the 5 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 30 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 64 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Diplomacy is Not an Option ($29.99, scores 69) and Rogue Command ($19.99, scores 66) both outscore it.

Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 5 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 893 reviews written there were positive, against 74 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.
