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
It has never been cheaper than $1.99. That was October 2018. 51 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 70 percent off, roughly 14 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 14 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 15 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 83 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, My Friend Pedro ($3.99, scores 96) beats it on value, while it beats Capsized ($9.99, scores 39).
80 from critics against 90 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
Steam's global achievement data says about 5 percent of players ever finish it. On a 3.5-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. 3 of the 340 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 78 percent of the 291 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 3.5 hours. Doing everything runs 9, 2.6 times as long.

What players say
If there was a way to track my playtime on the demo I played on all sorts of websites when I was younger it would be nearing hundreds A genuinely amazing side-scrolling shooter, simple gameplay with good physics, fun to fight bosses accompanied by a soundtrack that frickin' rips. Length is about hour and a half but it's well worth it imho. Only setbacks would be that it's locked to 30 fps and it's pretty much...
One of the greats of my childhood. If you're still out there you awesome bastard, we wish you a good and prosperous life. Thanks for making all our childhoods better.
When I was but a wee lad, I'd replay this game *countless* times. On the ol' laptop on Friv. The first one too! But mostly Intrusion 2. It was always so fun and cool, imagining my character doing all these cool moves n crap, destroying and shooting giant mechs or robots away. One of my favorite things was to take the grappling hook mech and wield pieces of metal like giant riot shields! So nostalgic. One of my...

Intrusion 2 scores 69/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/214970/intrusion-2The 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 6, price as of Sep 24.
