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 $0.29. That was October 2015. 94 discounts in the 11 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 5 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
It is cheaper than 88 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 98 percent. On the same math Infernax ($19.99, scores 58) and Evoland 2 ($4.99, scores 75) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
Of the 346 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 1 comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 46 percent of the 306 reviews written there were positive, against 54 percent overall, and those are 35 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
The plot is not very complex, but it is still interesting to follow the development of events. Sometimes the gameplay may seem a bit monotonous, but the game is still engaging. Overall, this is a good indie RPG for those who like calm adventures and the classic style of such games.
Monotonous interiors, mediocre plot. There's not much you can interact with in the game. It's immediately clear that they didn't put much effort into the game.
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.

Secret Of Magia scores 0/100 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/396160/secret-of-magiaThe 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.
