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 $0.74. That was November 2020. Its cuts run 73 percent off as a rule. There have been 66 in the 12 years tracked, about 8 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 8 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 33 percent on value. It is cheaper than 87 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Halo: Spartan Strike ($2.99, scores 57) beats it on value, while it beats Alien Breed: Impact ($9.99, scores 34).
The press gave it 70; the people who bought it give it 78 percent. An 8-point gap in the buyer's favour.

What players say
A good Halo game that still holds up! I am in love with the tied-in continuity of Halo 3, Halo Wars, & Halo Reach equipment and vehicles. It compliments those older games well. I experienced little to no bugs playing this, and I was pleased to see that the microtransactional Store-Bought Credits systems (as seen in the Windows & Xbox versions) was replaced/merged with earned experience points you gain from ACTUALLY...
Nota Geral | Overall Rating ⭐⭐⭐ Halo: Spartan Assault é um spin-off curioso que troca a perspectiva em primeira pessoa da série por uma visão top-down, e o resultado é um jogo que "não fede nem cheira". Funciona como uma experiência competente pra quem quer uma dose rápida de ação no universo Halo, mas não chega perto de capturar o que fez a série principal tão especial. É o tipo de jogo que você joga, termina, e...
piece of sh game has not been working for years and you still charge money for it

Halo: Spartan Assault scores 53/100 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/277430/halo-spartan-assaultThe 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 20, price as of Sep 24.
