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.
- How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Shooter game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $1.24, set in June 2017. It has been discounted 69 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 70 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 50 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 74 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Nioh: Complete Edition ($7.49, scores 57) beats it on value, while it beats Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty ($19.99, scores 1).
Critics scored it 60. Players sit 16 points higher at 76 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
Of the 387 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 3 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 46 percent of the 270 reviews written there were positive, against 76 percent overall, and those are 24 percent of everything written about it.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

Hunted: The Demon’s Forge™ scores 38/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). Length is estimated at 6 hours, not measured, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/22450/hunted-the-demon-s-forgeThe 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 4, price as of Sep 24.
