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
On value it sits in the top 4 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 93 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Mr.Mine (free, scores 77) beats it on value, while it beats Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms (free, scores 44).
Inside the two-hour refund window, 83 percent of the 112 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it. It carries the aggressive kind of in-app purchases, and the score already docks it for that.
The main story runs 246.4 hours. Doing everything runs 1218, 4.9 times as long.

Clicker Heroes scores 70/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/363970/clicker-heroesThe 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 11.
