Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach350K+ owners
How many own it, by SteamSpy's estimate (an old snapshot). A free game has no price to weigh, so this is its value read
For context
Length8 hours
How much game you get. Hours feed the value per dollar
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
RefundsFree
A free game cannot be refunded, so the label never applies
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

It is less well reviewed than 75 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Supremacy: 1914 (free, scores 35) beats it on value, while it beats Blitzkrieg 3 ($9.99, scores 2).

Inside the two-hour refund window, 32 percent of the 111 reviews written there were positive, against 69 percent overall, and those are 34 percent of everything written about it.
