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 $2.99. That was February 2026. Its cuts run 67 percent off as a rule. There have been 83 in the 13 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 4 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 10 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 78 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 77 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Castle Crashers® ($14.99, scores 97) beats it on value, while it beats Sacred 3 ($14.99, scores 2).
Steam's global achievement data puts 30 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. 6 of the 455 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 531 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 35 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Yeah, Baldur's Gate 3 is cool and all, but does it have a tan tomboy baddie like Moriah in it? Oh? It has like... multiple hot men and women of all creeds and ethnicities... oh... Well at least this game isn't turn based!
𝕋𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕚𝕤 𝕒 𝕋𝕚𝕞𝕖𝕝𝕖𝕤𝕤 𝕒𝕕𝕧𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕦𝕣𝕖! Ah, a game from my childhood. This is no simple beat-em up, it's an RPG beat sidescroller where you'd be spending far more time with it than you had anticipated. The combat is satisfying, yet it's the little RPG touches -choosing different routes, collecting equipment, leveling up, and experimenting with distinct character classes-that make every playthrough feel a little different. It...
I think this is a great piece of history for anyone who loves Mystara. But as a game, it did not age well. I've seen comments like "this should've been more popular" and after finishing Tower of Doom and Shadows Over Mystara, I know why it wasn't more popular. The game tries very hard to make you spend more $$$ for tokens, from an arcade perspective. A lot of enemies can attack you out of your range. A lot of them...

Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara scores 58/100 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/229480/dungeons-dragons-chronicles-of-mystaraThe 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 Aug 1, price as of Sep 24.
