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.

What players say
Awesome game 9/10. Draws heavy inspiration from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". There are 3 classes: Knight, Archer and Builder. Knight has a slash attack as a main action and a shield block/bash as a secondary action. Archer has a bow shot as a main action and a grapple-hook as a secondary action. And lastly the Builder, can build and break blocks. Most of the combat ends in a single attack, since the Dual Slash...
King Arthur's Gold is a multiplayer action game that combines side-scrolling combat, castle building and chaotic team-based battles. I can play as different classes and work with my team to attack enemy strongholds, defend our own base and manipulate the environment to gain an advantage. The combination of construction and combat gives it a much more interesting identity than a standard platforming action game. The...
Its a miracle a game can be 13 years old and flat out not work. Missing integral files to load into the singleplayer mode in the current build. Crashes on any mode, nothing works, no players.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

King Arthur's Gold scores 65/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/219830/king-arthur-s-goldThe 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 16.
