What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • Player count is unknown. We assumed a small player base, about 500 owners.
  • Steam lists in-app purchases but we have no detail on them. Small caution applied.

Holding it back
Reviews86% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones Scored as 85% after the small-sample adjustment
MonetizationIn-app purchases
Steam lists in-app purchases and nothing more is known, so a small haircut
DRMGoogle or Apple account needed
Needs a second account on top of Steam, a small friction discount
For context
RefundsFree
A free game cannot be refunded, so the label never applies
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score
