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
The lowest price on record is $2.49, set in November 2017. Its cuts run 65 percent off as a rule. There have been 50 in the 13 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart.
It is less well reviewed than 72 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Dungeon Souls ($12.99, scores 37) and Crawl ($14.99, scores 82) both outscore it.
Critics scored it 62. Players sit 11 points higher at 73 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
Inside the two-hour refund window, 48 percent of the 414 reviews written there were positive, against 73 percent overall, and those are 34 percent of everything written about it.
HowLongToBeat players log 8.5 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 28, 3.3 times as much.

Legend of Dungeon scores 34/100 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/238280/legend-of-dungeonThe 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.
