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 $3.99, set in August 2023. It has been discounted 81 times in the 9 years tracked here, typically at 40 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 2 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks. It becomes a BANGER at $7.24, a level the record has reached 62 times.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 7 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 91 percent of its genre. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Blazing Sails ($3.74, scores 64) and Pavlov ($24.99, scores 44).
This site sampled 799 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 17 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 76 percent of the 1,078 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.
At 8 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say
This game is what we all needed some chang in fps not just normal guns and objective I only been playing for 6 hours but I can already tell that this is a hidden gem,I 100% recommend buying this game
This is one of the best shooters out there, too bad its underrated. Please try this game if you are willing to buy it. :)
Very fun little game, i had a blast playing it however it got booring after a bit because most of the times you are playing against bots only. sadly not many players on servers. Make game F2P for players and season p2p passes for skins etc.
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.

Shotgun Farmers scores 79/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/604240/shotgun-farmersThe 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 17, price as of Sep 24.
