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
The lowest price on record is $0.48, set in March 2023. Its cuts run 80 percent off as a rule. There have been 101 in the 14 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
It is cheaper than 68 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Call of Duty®: Infinite Warfare ($59.99, scores 7) beats it on value, while it beats Interstellar Marines ($9.99, scores 2).
Of the 512 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 47 percent of the 876 reviews written there were positive, against 56 percent overall, and those are 40 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Honestly? It's not *that* bad, at least not as bad as people made it out to be, as long as you don't go in expecting too much Guns are fun, killing things is satisfying. And if you're fatigued by the glorified movies that AAA studios have been pumping out for the last decade or so that take 20 or more hours to finish, this one only took me seven. It's doable in probably five. On the downside, it's buggy, it's dated...
Looks and plays better than I thought it would. No crashes so far. I played this as a kid and really liked it. I'm nearly 30 now and still impressed. It's pretty great.
Another one in the list of games that present themselves with a fun and interesting premise, and then simply do not deliver on it. Why does this happen so often? Every time this happens, the people behind the work must see it too, right? I once again went into the game fully expecting to enjoy it because of the set-up alone. Sure it'll probably be a mediocre shooter, but mythical creatures running around urban...

Legendary scores 3/100 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/16730/legendaryThe 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 3, price as of Sep 24.
