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 $2.49. That was June 2022. It has been discounted 59 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 9 weeks between sales. 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 9 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 43 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Magicite ($9.99, scores 65) beats it on value, while it beats Never Split the Party (free, scores 44).
3 of the 418 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 43 percent of the 410 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Abandonware is wrongterm. This is indieware. Like it could be free or not and it feels like it could be finished or not. It's a limbospace game. Regardless... this game was great back in 2016. It's still fun today too I am sure but there are other games that occupy the same genre space that are much more engaging and rewarding. One of the biggest gripes this game has for people is achievement and stat tracking. I...
Developer of Magicite, thought it would live up to the name back on release. 2/10
This game is super hard to recommend, but I still want to because it is incredibly fun, and if you mod the game it feels much more complete. That being said, while the game is technically past 1.0 and "finished" it does not feel that way, especially as the creator sort of just abandoned this game. But the gameplay is still unique and I still have a lot of fun with it. If this is your type of game and its on sale...

Roguelands scores 52/100 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/364420/roguelandsThe 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 23, price as of Sep 24.
