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 $1.49, set in June 2026. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 21 in the 2 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 5 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 2 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 94 percent. The nearest things to it, Liar's Bar ($6.99, scores 73) and Granny ($7.99, scores 72), are both worse buys on this math.
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 24 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2026 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 355 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 46 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 93 percent of the 36,301 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 33 percent of everything written about it.
HowLongToBeat players log 0.5 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 10, 19 times as much.
The rating rests on 125,906 reviews, so it is not going to move much from here.

What players say
Buckshot Roulette Rating: 7/10 - Good Buckshot Roulette is a really fun, light game with a really Good artstyle and interesting premise. There isn't too much to say about this game. There isn't too much of a direct story outside of some implied elements that, while interesting to think about, aren't really anything concrete. Buckshot Roulette is pretty much all gameplay, gameplay that is elevated by its own...
Super tense atmosphere and an awesome retro vibe! Playing Russian Roulette with a shotgun against a creepy AI is crazy fun, and the items add great strategy. The new multiplayer mode lets you play with friends, which makes the mind games and betrayal even better. It still relies a lot on luck, but it's an absolute blast with a squad. 8.5/10
Buckshot Roulette is a simple but incredibly addictive game that turns a dangerous game of chance into a tense and memorable experience. The atmosphere is dark, the sound design is excellent, and every round keeps you guessing about what will happen next. The gameplay is easy to understand but surprisingly strategic. You have to think carefully, take risks, and use the items at the right moment. Every decision can...

Buckshot Roulette scores 89/100 on the BANG Score (a BANGER). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/2835570/buckshot-rouletteThe 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 13, price as of Sep 23.
