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. Its cuts run 70 percent off as a rule. There have been 99 in the 14 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. 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.
It is cheaper than 61 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 84 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines ($4.99, scores 82) beats it on value, while it beats Company of Heroes 3 ($23.99, scores 3).
The press liked it more than its buyers did, 72 against 62 percent.

What players say
It's hard to describe just how awful this game is compared to Commandos 1 and 2. It lacks the visual charm, it's a mess and clunky af. Just play the first 2 games instead.
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin is a real-time tactical game made Pyro Studios where you control a group of specialists while completing missions during World War II. The engine is improved from the previous game, now being much more responsive, offering faster movement and a new free camera rotation mechanic. The game is divided into three small campaigns, Stalingrad, Central Europe, and Normandy, each with just a...
This and all the other "Commandos" games are ok. It wasn't my cup of tea but I do see it being fun for others.

Commandos 3: Destination Berlin scores 12/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/6840/commandos-3-destination-berlinThe 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.
