Do you hate bugs and arachnids? Seeing them creeps you out? Would you like them to disappear off the face of the Earth? GOOD! This is the right game for you! In HW you’ll play as a General of a toy soldiers army, with the sole purpose of saving the owner’s house from the invasion of those damn Bugs.

What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Shooter game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones

No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $4.99. That was June 2018. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 77 in the 9 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.

Among the games that feel like it, Attack on Toys ($6.99, scores 63) beats it on value, while it beats Total Conflict: Resistance ($29.99, scores 37).

Of the 406 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 6 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 207 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 44 percent of the 162 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
