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 $1.39. That was September 2026. It has been discounted 99 times in the 12 years tracked here, typically at 80 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today's $1.39 at 93 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 69 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Blood Bowl 2: Legendary Edition (Classic) ($29.99, scores 45) beats it on value, while it beats Warhammer Quest (Classic) ($29.99, scores 16).
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2021 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 41 percent of the 521 reviews written there were positive, against 70 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 15.9 hours; clearing it takes 94, which is 5.9 times the campaign.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

What players say
really fun game but really challenging game but when you win it feel great not for the weak though
Best warhammer game of all time, immense strategical depth, permadeath goodness, and high risk high reward min-maxing combat. Definitely Janky and could use a sequel, but well worth it on sale with a lot of deep replayability.
its not xcom and has bad turn based gameplay with its ui wanting to look impressive when its throwing so much bs on the screen that can be fixed with status symbols. For a game with such expansive lore it has such barebones gameplay and selection with nothing being impressive and the entertainment coming from thinking an unfair and badly balanced game is hard instead of badly made. i love games like xcom and darkest...
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.

Mordheim: City of the Damned scores 30/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/276810/mordheim-city-of-the-damnedThe 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 16, price as of Sep 24.
