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 $5.99, set in June 2015. It has been discounted 82 times in the 13 years tracked here, typically at 80 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games closest to it, Men of War: Assault Squad ($9.99, scores 76) and Company of Heroes - Legacy Edition ($7.39, scores 69) both come in lower.
68 from critics against 91 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
14 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2023 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 1,296 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
A good game, lots of mods but honestly just buy Gates of Hell: Ostfront. It is a much better game overall and has a ton more features. It also comes with dynamic conquest and you don't have to buy DLC to use skirmishes like this one. This game is definitely showing it's age, I enjoyed it quite a bit before finding Ostfront and completely switching to it.
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.

Men of War: Assault Squad 2 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/244450/men-of-war-assault-squad-2The 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.
