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 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $1.49. It has been discounted 89 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 80 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 4 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 26 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 68 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 69 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Kingdom Two Crowns ($19.99, scores 79) beats it on value, while it beats Rogue Tower ($14.99, scores 58).
4 of the 799 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2023 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 74 percent of the 925 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.
HowLongToBeat players log 10.6 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 37, 3.4 times as much.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 10.6 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say
The game itself is enjoyable at first few islands cause how simple and straight forward it is but it gradually becomes irritating as it gets harder, its not about the difficulty but the VERY CORE AI of the npc, they are built in such effective way to stay alive. Every NPC lacks of the very safety sense and get themselves killed as if they volunteer. The builder: They just go wherever they want even at night, they...
I rarely write any reviews so when I finally do it, the game is either peak or dogsh*t. Unfortunately, it's the latter one this time. I bought it on discount for around 1$ which is the exact price this time waster of a game deserves. I will share my grievances from a perspective of someone who already played Kingdom Two Crowns for 90 hours and owns all dlcs. Let's get this going then: 1. The hired beggars don't...
I love the scenery, and the game play loop is fun and has difficulty curve that makes you think harder and harder later in the game. Once I understood how the stamina worked it wasn't too bad as you just needed to be patient from time to time. The music is just as good as the environment, the challenge I like is that it takes more then just spending your money to be successful, you have to think ahead and plan how...
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Kingdom: New Lands scores 67/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/496300/kingdom-new-landsThe 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 14, price as of Sep 24.
