Raising the score
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach3.5M+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
For context
Refunds20 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

What players say

this game is very good (with mods) and i love making a railgun, mortar and fully auto gernade launcher

Personally, a really good game. It's a fun game and doesn't have cheaters from what I have seen. I will say though, Quick Match basically has no one playing it so it is best w/ a friend!
