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
The lowest price on record is $0.15, set in September 2015. 87 discounts in the 11 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 3 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
It is cheaper than 68 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 66 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut ($9.99, scores 61) beats it on value, while it beats Planet Explorers (free, scores 10).
Inside the two-hour refund window, 73 percent of the 371 reviews written there were positive, against 71 percent overall, and those are 43 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Didn't mind it at first, but once I got playing, I noticed how buggie this game is. Tried to click on the zombies many times and the characters wouldn't do anything but glitch out. I can't in good faith recommend this to anyone.
A relatively simple 2D real-time strategy game. You control a squad of up to 6 six survivors composed of 3 different classes (soldiers, medics, and engineers) in a handful of single-screen scenarios against waves of zombies while trying to complete basic objectives (one survivor standing next to an object for a few minutes). The progression and combat in the early game feel fine due to the slow speed of the early...
EPIC GAME, I think the amount of hours I spent in it says enough, ENOUGH SAID, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. And here I thought going in to it, I was going to be playing a spud, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Flesh Eaters scores 30/100 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/383580/flesh-eatersThe 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.
