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 December 2019. Its cuts run 66 percent off as a rule. There have been 100 in the 13 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 5 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 4 percent on value. It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 92 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Holdfast: Nations At War ($19.99, scores 74) beats it on value, while it beats Isonzo ($29.99, scores 64).
Critics scored it 70. Players sit 16 points higher at 86 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 26 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2021 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 490 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 216 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 51 percent of the 3,434 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Played this game for probably 5 years now, its a fun shooter and based of my favorite historical war. I'm at max level and despite the 3 other games I always come back to this.
Awesome WW1 game, immersive and with realistic weapons! Brutal trench warfer at its finest.
The original that started everything. Probably the best gamemode out off every WW1 game I've played and believe me I've played a lot. Definition of gameplay over graphics/visuals.
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.

Verdun scores 69/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/242860/verdunThe 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 13, price as of Sep 24.
