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
Value puts it in the top 42 percent of the games it competes with. Among the games that feel like it, World of Tanks (free, scores 49) beats it on value, while it beats Gear Up (free, scores 40).
Players rate it 78 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 63 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Inside the two-hour refund window, 60 percent of the 184 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 20 percent of everything written about it. It carries the aggressive kind of in-app purchases, and the score already docks it for that.
The main story runs 1275 hours. Doing everything runs 3500, 2.7 times as long.

World of Tanks Blitz scores 45/100 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/444200/world-of-tanks-blitzThe 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 3.
