The value story

The value story

45 discounts in the 11 years on record, a median of 80 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 189 weeks ago.

It is less well reviewed than 71 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.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Raising the score
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
Holding it back
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach350K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
For context
Refunds2 of 217 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score
