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 $5.99. That was July 2025. It has been discounted 77 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 40 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 5 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 3 percent on value. It is pricier than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Paint the Town Red ($19.99, scores 90) beats it on value, while it beats Clone Drone in the Hyperdome ($19.99, scores 58).

Critics scored it 82. Players sit 14 points higher at 96 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

10 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2025 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 355 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 20 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 86 percent of the 1,411 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 2.1 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 38, 18 times as much.

What players say

Hands down my favorite voxel / destruction game out there. It may be on the smaller side compared to other games like teardown but man is it worth the time and money you spend on it. 10/10 game, cannot recommend it enough. Decent challenge too for the harder difficulty story modes, still have yet to beat chapter 1, 2 and 5 on insane mode and I've done DOZENS of attempts. lol

just beat the game and i loved it if your thinking about getting do had a super fun time its a even more yes now that it is on sale
db10Recommendedafter 2.0h1 found this helpfulRead on Steam
Pretty Mid I would say but some of it is pretty good. Reasons: The kill system is completely off for calculating kills. Example: I have a sword and a guy kills me with a sword by removing my right arm, but when I remove one of his arms, sometimes it will instead not count as a kill. (Because even though your arm is removed, it should not count as a kill for still holding your own sword with one hand) Endless mode...

[![BANG Score](https://steambangers.com/api/badge/597170)](https://steambangers.com/game/597170/clone-drone-in-the-danger-zone)

The 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.

A number here look wrong? Tell me what it got wrong and I will look at the inputs behind it.
