The value story

The value story

Across all 36 discounts in the 13 years tracked, the median cut is 50 percent, about 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 85 weeks ago.

It is less well reviewed than 94 percent of its genre. Angels Fall First ($17.99, scores 38) outscores it, and so does GROUND BRANCH ($29.99, scores 40). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Raising the score
Replayability~11h to replay
Co-op and replay time. The value score counts hours well past the 1.9h main story
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
Holding it back
Cost per hour$5.26/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones

Still in development, a small confidence discount until 1.0
For context
Refunds3 of 620 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

What players say

I back this when it was on Kickstarter. This one has so much promise... Space sharks next Gen combat ect ect. But they just kept adding dumb stuff. Weeks spend on weapon sway, months spent on different dumb animations that didn't really effect gameplay in a real way. All we wanted was coop space marine shock Troops fighting aliens and space sharks. Instead they decided to make a pretty C.O.D but with 100% lest...

Great concept of a video game that was ahead of its time. VERY dead by now though.
