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.
- How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $14.99, set in July 2024. It has been discounted 30 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 8 weeks.
It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 98 percent. On the same math Game of Thrones Winter is Coming (free, scores 8) and Ultimate General: Civil War ($29.99, scores 80) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
8 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 42 percent of the 2,065 reviews written there were positive, against 54 percent overall, and those are 16 percent of everything written about it.

Kingdom Heroes 8 scores 0/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). Length is not in our data, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/875210/kingdom-heroes-8The 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 2, price as of Sep 24.
