Review Languages
 

Donut graph showing review languages for Battle Academy and the proportion of players they represent.

This donut graph displays the languages of Battle Academy's Steam reviews. The most popular language is English (63%), followed by French (9%). There is a nice diversity in the reviews, with 18 languages represented. The game is translated in 6 languages. Considering that, unless the game is text-heavy, adding translations is not a lot of work compared to making a game, it is often a good idea to translate the game in many languages.

Time Played

Chart displaying Battle Academy percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the number of hours played in Battle Academy, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. Notice how the time in game reaches a stellar 118 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 37 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 58 minutes) can mean that the game crashes on some systems or that the type of gameplay was not completely clear to the players (Is the game unmistakably explained on the Steam Store ?). It is also possible that players were otherwise displeased by Battle Academy and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.
