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
April 2021 is where it bottomed out, at $8.99. 74 discounts in the 9 years on record. They run about 84 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today's $9.59 at 84 percent off still sits 7 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
At full price it scores 76. The current cut is what makes it a 83.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. The nearest things to it, Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition ($19.99, scores 52) and Injustice™ 2 ($49.99, scores 33), are both worse buys on this math.
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 27 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2024 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 69 percent of the 3,710 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
I love this game. It is one of my favorite games. Some of the best memories with game buds were made here... On PS4. Natively, this game does not even launch on steamdeck (maybe Linux in general) even with SteamOS's built-in compatibility layers. There is a fix, and it works fine. Download ProtonUp-Qt > install latest proton version > relaunch steam > launch DBFZ. Cool. All systems nominal. Even online works...
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.

DRAGON BALL FighterZ scores 83/100 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/678950/dragon-ball-fighterzThe 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 12, price as of Sep 24.
