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
July 2020 is where it bottomed out, at $0.79. It has been discounted 104 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 80 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 6 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
It is less well reviewed than 80 percent of its genre. On the same math Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive ($4.99, scores 75) and Shadow Tactics: Aiko's Choice ($19.99, scores 57) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
Critics scored it 80, but players land 13 points lower at 67 percent. The reviews were kinder than the room.
1 of the 499 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 45 percent of the 605 reviews written there were positive, against 67 percent overall, and those are 46 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Generally good game, however this game struggles to run on modern hardware and theres basically few or no patches that exist that can fix this game. Each computer seems to act differently towards this game for basically no reason. An infamous bug that is common on newer computers is the "mouse doesn't appear in game" bug. On other computers this game wouldn't start up at all. It would be great if this game got a...
One of the games I remember the most from my childhood! I'm sure it's still good but this version is unplayable without clever fixes. (haven't tried that yet) Sooo if it was easy to just launch and play it would be a positive review. I never completed the game, I got stuck on a level where I had to hide a fat monk somewhere. never figured it out as a kid.
A game I played as a kid and finally finished again. I remember playing Robin Hood, type stealth-it had great graphics-and I'm surprised I found it on Steam. The game was released in 2002, so it was made very well; the graphics are beautiful, and it's a stealth game. The cutscenes are excellent. It was fun right up until the very end. The game worked fine for me, but I didn't use any mods to enhance it. I recommend...

Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood scores 21/100 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/46560/robin-hood-the-legend-of-sherwoodThe 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 4, price as of Sep 24.
