The value story

The value story

It is less well reviewed than 83 percent of its genre. Flash Party (free, scores 18) outscores it, and so does Torchlight: Infinite (free, scores 20). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

It is still busy. 6.5K players were online when we last checked, on Nov 6, 18:46 UTC, across 35 days of weekly checks.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is 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.

BANG Score badge
Heartopia scores 12/100 on the BANG Score (a skip) as of Nov 8, 2026. Player count is unknown, so the score assumes a small player base; Steam shows 16,285 reviews, so it has at least that many owners. The developer disclosed AI-generated content on Steam, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/4025700/heartopia
