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 2015. 68 discounts in the 13 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 9 weeks apart. 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 9 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 27 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 68 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Vagante ($14.99, scores 73) beats it on value, while it beats Roguelands ($9.99, scores 52).

What players say
Pros: Fun + Challenging Roguelike. Solid pacing, variety, and design. Excellent Music!!! (and sound design) Cons: BUGS!!! (no new content = ok. But FIX the BUGS, it shouldn't be broken/annoying: 1) can't cook chicken 2) forced to ride Wolf and take damage 90% of the time unless you manage to get lucky and are randomly not denied jumping off it... 3) shopkeepers W icon randomly goes away - have to open inventory and...
Even tho game hasn't ben updated in God knows how long and the game has a lot of bugs...the game is simply too good, time to time I come back to this game cause it simply never gets boring the game is still awesome.
Great game, too bad for the game breaking bugs. It's abandonware, avoid and buy another roguelike.

Magicite scores 65/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/268750/magiciteThe 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 2, price as of Sep 24.
A number here look wrong? Tell me what it got wrong and I will look at the inputs behind it.
