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 $3.99. That was September 2015. It has been discounted 81 times in the 13 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 14 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
It is pricier than 78 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Arizona Sunshine® VR Legacy ($14.99, scores 38) beats it on value, while it beats Their Land ($2.00, scores 0).
53 from critics against 73 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
Of the 363 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 47 percent of the 216 reviews written there were positive, against 73 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Deadfall Adventures is partially inspired by the Allan Quatermain series of books written in the late 1800's and early 1900's, and partially inspired by adventure films such as the Indiana Jones and The Mummy franchises. It is a first person shooter with some exploration and puzzle solving set in 1938. It is also just okay as a game. Featuring all of the hallmarks of cheaply made AA titles doomed to the bargain bin...
Full disclosure: I played using the mod that downgrades the game back to a previous version (look it up) because it adds back in stuff that they cut in the most recent update so this review is not for the game as is. Also MANY of my hours are from having the game paused for hours while I ate or watched Youtube and forgot the game was still up. Great game, beautiful, tight controls and mechanics, voice acting isn't...
I really wanted to like to this game as I am a sucker for anything treasure hunting but the sound design is awful from voice acting to to sound effects to no background noise and just hearing the heavy stomps of the boots. It was bad enough to not want to play the game. I get it's an older title but man it's bad. The level designs look nice until you realize how big the rooms are with nothing to do in them so it's...
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.

Deadfall Adventures scores 30/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/231330/deadfall-adventuresThe 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.
