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
December 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $4.99. It has been discounted 15 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 40 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales. 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 8 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 63 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Castle Crashers® ($14.99, scores 97) beats it on value, while it beats Stick Fight: The Game ($4.99, scores 86).
Of the 799 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 29 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2024 to September 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 490 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 430 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 89 percent of the 1,408 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

Bopl Battle scores 92/100 on the BANG Score (a BANGER). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/1686940/bopl-battleThe 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 15, price as of Sep 23.
