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.
- How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $2.59, set in May 2018. It has been discounted 49 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 42 percent on value. It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 75 percent. On the same math Retro City Rampage™ DX ($14.99, scores 49) and Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt (free, scores 90) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
The press gave it 75; the people who bought it give it 87 percent. A 12-point gap in the buyer's favour.
Steam's global achievement data puts about 3 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. This site sampled 327 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 1 was written by a buyer who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026.

NOT A HERO scores 45/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). Length is not in our data, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/274270/not-a-heroThe 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 Aug 29.
