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 $0.97. That was November 2017. It has been discounted 90 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 86 percent off, with about 7 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 7 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 18 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 64 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Dungeon Siege ($6.99, scores 63) beats it on value, while it beats Last Epoch ($34.99, scores 38).
2 of the 565 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 48 percent of the 768 reviews written there were positive, against 77 percent overall, and those are 29 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 28.5 hours. Doing everything runs 60, 2.1 times as long.

What players say
Absolutely old school at it's best. Totally enjoying it!! Sale price is no brainer, no reason not to play it. Plenty of skills, set items, magical items, chants ,powerups ,spell books with plenty of spells too. You can have heroes as well as pets! Game is simple and straight forward. If you like old school games, you will like this.
While the original title will always be one that I go back to on occasion for nostalgia, the sequel takes all the best parts of it and creates a much more intense action-based sequence. The skill trees and abilities are a nice touch as well. Like the original, Jeremy Soule also scores the sequel, and that is another plus to this overall worthy sequel.
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.

Dungeon Siege II scores 50/100 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/39200/dungeon-siege-iiThe 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 Aug 1, price as of Sep 24.
