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 $3.89. That was March 2023. 81 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 3 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 14 percent on value. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition ($19.99, scores 52) beats it on value, while it beats Injustice™ 2 ($49.99, scores 33).
Critics scored it 82. Players sit 9 points higher at 91 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
This site sampled 648 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 14 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 80 percent of the 1,138 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, unlock); the score docks it lightly for that.
The main story runs 2.5 hours. Doing everything runs 134, 54 times as long.

Ultra Street Fighter® IV scores 49/100 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/45760/ultra-street-fighter-ivThe 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.
