BC Kings features several new elements not commonly found in strategy games. In addition to gathering resources, training an army and defeating the enemy, you will have to solve adventure and role-playing elements as well. The campaign is built around the epic story of the brave hero Mradin, and his trusty old friend Giesnik.

Time Played

Chart displaying BC Kings percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time played in BC Kings, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time in game is not bad at all, with 24 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 18 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 28 minutes), it can be a sign that the game crashes on some systems or that players misunderstood the nature of the game (Does the Steam page clearly explain it, with gifs and a gameplay video ?). It can also mean that some players were somehow offended by BC Kings and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
