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
September 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $2.49. 75 discounts in the 8 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 2 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 27 percent on value. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Mortal Kombat X ($19.99, scores 74) beats it on value, while it beats Mortal Kombat 1 ($49.99, scores 29).
This site sampled 799 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 8 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written January 2026 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 67 percent of the 6,110 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 6.3 hours; clearing it takes 61, which is 9.7 times the campaign.
7 years after release it still had 1.0K people in it at once.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 6.3 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say
At first I was having mixed feelings about this. But the more I played, The more I started to enjoy it. Only main issue I had was the changes of certain character models again. Some of them look weird, others look better. Regardless I enjoyed the two part campaign story and having an easy setting was very handy this time around so I was able to enjoy learning the moves while not cracking the sh!ts over a bot spam...
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.

Mortal Kombat 11 scores 40/100 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/976310/mortal-kombat-11The 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.
