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
October 2015 is where it bottomed out, at $0.99. It has been discounted 89 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 85 percent off, with about 5 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 5 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 4 percent on value. It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 92 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Infested Planet ($14.99, scores 71) beats it on value, while it beats Anomaly 2 ($14.99, scores 44).

What players say
A good game that stands out from the usual tower defense formula. Instead of building defense, you lead an attacking squad through ennemy defenses. I especially enjoyed the early levels, which i found much more interesting than the later ones. 100% Completion Time : 28.5H Completion Difficulty : 5/10 Playthroughs : 1-2 + mission cleanup Missables : None Notable requirements : All story mode and squad assault mode...
This game puts a unique twist on the tower defense genre by having you lead the attack instead of building defenses. Planning routes and supporting your convoy is more engaging than expected, although some levels become quite challenging as you progress. Overall, it's a fun game with a fresh and creative concept. 8.5/10
Trying to break through the war like a bear on ice - slippery, dangerous, and unpredictable. Graphics are like a cartoon and tactics like chess, but with cool weapons and explosions!

Anomaly: Warzone Earth scores 64/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/91200/anomaly-warzone-earthThe 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 17, price as of Sep 24.
