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
  • Player count is unknown. We assumed a small player base, about 500 owners.
  • Steam lists in-app purchases but we have no detail on them. Small caution applied.

Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Holding it back
Reviews82% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
MonetizationIn-app purchases
Steam lists in-app purchases and nothing more is known, so a small haircut
Early accessUnfinished
Still in development, a small confidence discount until 1.0
For context
Length4.1 hours
Typical playtime on HowLongToBeat. Endless games score on players, so hours stay out of it
RefundsFree
A free game cannot be refunded, so the label never applies
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

Against its own genre it lands in the top 18 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 84 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Piratopia (free, scores 54) beats it on value, while it beats Wild Warfare (free, scores 31).

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 4.1 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.
