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
June 2017 is where it bottomed out, at $2.59. 82 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. 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.
Value puts it in the top 2 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 76 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance ($12.99, scores 97) beats it on value, while it beats Executive Assault ($12.99, scores 46).
Critics scored it 77. Players sit 11 points higher at 88 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
This site sampled 722 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 5 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026.

Finishing takes 14.2 hours; clearing it takes 48, which is 3.4 times the campaign.

What players say
I recommend Supreme Commander 2, and it's no where nearly as bad as a lot of people online have made it out to be. My impression hardcore fans of the OG Supreme commander and its DLC/Expansion Forged Alliance weren't happy with developers simplifying the gameplay mechanics, scope and gigantic unit count of the OG Sup Com and its Forged Alliance sequel, to make it more RTS newbie/beginner friendly. I like how Supreme...
this game is genuinely goated and you really should give it a shot you wont be disappointed

Supreme Commander 2 scores 75/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/40100/supreme-commander-2The 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 15, price as of Sep 24.
