What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is 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.

Steam lists in-app purchases and nothing more is known, so a small haircut

From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score
