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

Value puts it in the top 21 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 69 percent of its genre. Clicker Heroes (free, scores 70) outscores it, and so does Crusaders of the Lost Idols (free, scores 59). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

Steam's global achievement data says about 1 percent of players ever finish it. On a 39.5-hour game, that is a lot of evenings most people never spend. Players rate it 77 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 49 percent. Something recent has soured the room.

39.5 hours to finish it, 5812 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 147 times the campaign.

6 years after release it still had 3.0K people in it at once.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

It is still busy. 3.0K players were in it at once at the last check, across 81 days of tracking.

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.
