Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

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

This chart shows ICBM's Steam rating and reviews from November 2020 to December 2023. Steam's rating is in a narrow range going from 95.2% (December 2020) to 91.6% (January 2022).

The 1.5K reviews Top 10% suggest that ICBM might be an indie success or even a small AAA success. The chart looks like a long tail distribution, which sometimes means that the marketing was concentrated on the game launch and then stopped, and that no major update or discounts followed.
