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
The lowest price on record is $1.99, set in March 2026. 56 discounts in the 7 years on record. They run about 66 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. 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.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and the best reviewed. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Ravenfield ($17.99, scores 66) and Ancient Warfare 3 ($12.99, scores 61).
$52.91 is where it would stop being a BANGER. Today it is $19.99.
This site sampled 600 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 22 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written February 2026 to September 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,864 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,323 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 87 percent of the 6,274 reviews written there were positive, against 98 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 8.6 hours; clearing it takes 38, which is 4.4 times the campaign.
5 years after release it still had 1.3K people in it at once.

Totally Accurate Battle Simulator scores 97/100 on the BANG Score (a BANGER). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/508440/totally-accurate-battle-simulatorThe 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 12, price as of Sep 24.
