What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Strategy game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
  • Steam lists in-app purchases but we have no detail on them. Small caution applied.

Holding it back
Reviews70% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
MonetizationIn-app purchases
Steam lists in-app purchases and nothing more is known, so a small haircut
DRMMarmalade Bubble is account needed
Needs a second account on top of Steam, a small friction discount
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is
For context
Refunds7 of 624 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

The value story

It has been discounted 46 times in the 6 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 60 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $4.49 at 70 percent off still sits 13 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

It is pricier than 80 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 68 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. THE GAME OF LIFE ($1.29, scores 34) and THE GAME OF LIFE 2 ($3.74, scores 46) both outscore it.
