What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Holding it back
Reviews68% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach35K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
Refunds12 of 426 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
For context
Value$4.00/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

It has been discounted 15 times in the 3 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 55 percent, about 13 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 86 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Heroes of Hammerwatch ($14.99, scores 70) beats it on value, while it beats NECROPOLIS: BRUTAL EDITION ($7.49, scores 14).

More about MythForce

12 of the 426 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2023 to July 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,174 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 23 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 12 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 44 percent of the 127 reviews written there were positive, against 68 percent overall, and those are 30 percent of everything written about it.

I like the camp of the story and the aesthetics of the game (it was very 80s cartoon), but the game play loop was really repetitive and not very challenging. The maps repeated within each story act and so did some of the dialogue (that could have been intentional though, again 80s cartoon). I beat the game on hard with a single character in ~8hrs, but would have beaten it quick if I used mouse and keyboard from the...
