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 $2.59. That was June 2018. 45 discounts in the 11 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.
It is less well reviewed than 67 percent of its genre. Overture ($4.99, scores 40) outscores it, and so does Heroes of Hammerwatch ($14.99, scores 70). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
This site sampled 217 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 2 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to July 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 58 percent of the 267 reviews written there were positive, against 74 percent overall, and those are 20 percent of everything written about it.
HowLongToBeat players log 8.8 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 36, 4.1 times as much.

Dungeon Souls scores 37/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/383230/dungeon-soulsThe 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.
