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. We scored it as a typical Strategy game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
The value story
July 2019 is where it bottomed out, at $3.99. It has been discounted 78 times in the 12 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today's $4.99 at 75 percent off still sits 25 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 97 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Company of Heroes 3 ($23.99, scores 3) and Company of Heroes - Legacy Edition ($7.39, scores 69) both outscore it.
The press liked it more than its buyers did, 81 against 55 percent.
This site sampled 252 of its Steam-purchase reviews; none were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026.

Company of Heroes 2 - Ardennes Assault scores 1/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). Length is estimated at 8 hours, not measured, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/317850/company-of-heroes-2-ardennes-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 Aug 2, price as of Sep 24.
