This graph shows Ratings War's Steam rating and reviews between October 2015 and July 2017. Steam's rating oscillates between 92.1% (November 2015) and 78% (July 2017).

Considering the 50 reviews, and if it didn't take too long to make the game, Ratings War could be a small indie success. The chart is compatible with a long tailed distribution, which suggests there was a good visibility at launch but that it was not followed by significant updates or discounts.
