Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of WarPlan steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

This chart shows WarPlan's Steam rating and reviews from March 2020 to December 2023. Steam's rating is varying from 87.7% (July 2020) to 81.5% (December 2023).

The 179 reviews Top 30% suggest that WarPlan might be a reasonable indie success. The graph seems to be a long tailed distribution. That sometimes means that the marketing efforts were concentrated on the game launch, and that there was no major update or discounts after.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 5.9 times less than the median for positive reviews. Some players have left a negative review after playing a significant amount of time (127 hours in the 80th percentile) which could mean that a part of WarPlan's fanbase was unhappy about an update and review bombed the game. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
