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

May 2015 is where it bottomed out, at $0.39. It has been discounted 100 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 3 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.

On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 89 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines ($4.99, scores 82) beats it on value, while it beats Commandos 3: Destination Berlin ($4.99, scores 12).

Of the 412 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 5 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 785 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 33 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

fun concept. good graphics for the time. but human interface is, annoying to say the least. every item has its own hotkey making it hard to switch weapons intuitively. no way to re assign key binds either. good luck!
JesusFerretsFirearmsNot recommendedafter 1.9hJun 2026Read on Steam
Commandos 2 is a sequel to the beloved real-time tactics game, bringing back your favorite soldiers and a couple of new faces to move through new 3D maps and jankily complete objectives while consistently crashing. The 3D engine used by Pyro Studios is noticeably bad and sluggish, portraying your soldiers as slow-moving blobs. The game has a terrible user interface, requiring an enormous amount of time to get used...

Another game that I rediscovered on steam. This is super nostalgic and one of my favorite strategy games

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 Aug 1, price as of Sep 24.
