How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.

“For a shorter title that has a gameplay of eight to fifteen hours or more, this is a hilarious piece that is definitely worth your attention. The beginning may be a little difficult, but once you figure it all out, the entire run through the game is one big ride full of challenges and finding clues to catch the robbers and return the precious oil back to the village. Considering that only two people worked on the development of Feudal Alloy, it's quite an extensive undertaking that will certainly earn your admiration for a job well done.”

“Feudal Alloy is a wonderful example of a platformer done right. A brilliant, exploratory adventure that throws interesting mechanics on the table that breathe life into a well-established sub-genre.”

“Feudal Alloy really doesn't do anything impressive or attracting besides a unique art style that unfortunately isn't explored enough.”

“Feudal Alloy is an unique game created only by two indie developers. The game is certainly not flawless, but we're still talking about a very good Metroidvania, which you'll doubtlessly enjoy. This robotic adventure is at times so enjoyable, that you'll even overlook some of its obvious problems.”

“All downsides considered, Feudal Alloy is still a fully functional game. The game runs silky smooth in almost every scenario, the medieval landscapes look nice despite suffering from a lack of variety, and combat can be challenging at times due to inclusion of the cooling mechanic. All classic Metroidvania traversal mechanics are here, but little is done beyond providing that baseline of perks. A fun, lighthearted story with an endearing leading fish is set up, but is not fleshed out enough to really amount to anything in the end. All systems work, but many are marred by questionable design decisions (like the gear and talent tree issues). Simply put, Feudal Alloy does little to truly excite a Metroidvania fan outside of its unique aesthetic, and no amount of love for fish-piloted robots will change that. It is still a decent buy if you’re fresh out of Metroidvanias, however.”

“Make no mistake: while it certainly doesn't redefine the genre, Feudal Alloy is an incredibly strong second title from Attu Games. It abides by genre conventions with a style that is all its own, nearly flawless gameplay, and an injection of strategy sorely missing from most Metroidvanias.”

“Feudal Alloy is a strange metroidvania, made by robot, goldfishes and with an unique Middle Age style.”
