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 $2.59. That was June 2015. 52 discounts in the 13 years on record. They run about 69 percent off, roughly 12 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 27 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 12 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 68 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Outcore: Desktop Adventure (free, scores 93) beats it on value, while it beats Rogue Legacy ($14.99, scores 79).
Critics scored it 68. Players sit 23 points higher at 91 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
None of the 478 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 65 percent of the 383 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Absolute hidden gem metroidvania. Clearly a passion project for a solo dev who absolutely nailed it. I'm always surprised that this game doesn't come up more often in recommendation lists for this genre. Great for m+k or gamepad. Lots of replayability due to the diverse build options. The voice acting is solid, the humor is surprisingly funny at times. I've returned to this game many times over the years and I'd...
I played this game a bunch with my old D&D group over a decade ago on my friend's computer. It's as fun as ever, and reminds me of a wonderful era.
Funny little game. A must if you have ever played pen & paper RPG with your friends.
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.

UnEpic scores 85/100 on the BANG Score (a BANGER). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/233980/unepicThe 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, price as of Sep 24.
