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.
| Component | Positive | Quality (0-100) | Weight (pseudo-reviews) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Press reviews (OpenCritic) | – | 57 | 7 |
| All-time Steam reviews | 74% | 70 | 560 |
| Metacritic user ratings | – | – | 0 |
| Post-patch Steam reviews (trust-weighted) | 50% | 52 | 2 |

“Black Clover: Quartet Knights is in a bit of a tough spot. Black Clover fans are the most likely ones that would go out and pick up the game but they’re also likely the group that will be most disappointing in the game in it’s current form due to it’s short story mode, multiplayer issues and the growing difficulty of finding a full online match.”

“They attempted at something different with Black Clover: Quartet Knights; by making it a more team-oriented online brawler. However, the lack of gameplay depth and balancing issues make it a short-lived experience for fans of the series.”

“Black Clover: Quartet Knights is a pretty average 3D anime fighter/action game that succeeds in some places and fails in others. Its skippy framerate and boring story may make it a tough sell for anyone who isn’t into Black Clover, but its controls and enjoyable gameplay firmly cement Quartet Knights’s place as an alright anime game.”

“Black Clover: Quartet Knights just isn't very memorable. Even though it looks nice, technical issues and its short length drag it down to below average qualities.”

“Black Clover: Quartet Knights regardless of its faults is an enjoyable game that features a nicely fleshed out single-player campaign and chaotic but immensely fun online 4v4 battles. It’s unfortunate that the online is let down by a lack of players, but the game does its best with AI-controlled characters, albeit unbalanced ones.”

“As the first video-game based on Black Clover manga Series, Black Clover: Quartet Knights is a valuable game with huge amount of content in single-player and multi-player modes that can entertain you for many hours. unique art style and world design, beautiful music and deep gameplay elements, made Black Clover: Quartet Knights a worthy game. Although the game has issues like shallow story, technical problems and some unbalanced gameplay elements, but in the end, good aspects of the game overcome these issues and make a fun and entertaining experience for you. Also it's worth mentioning that if you want to feel the real potential and depth of the game, play Black Clover: Quartet Knights in multi-player mode.”

“Black Cover is a must play for the anime lovers but suggesting it to non anime watchers is kind of hard. Black Clover: Quartet Knights benefits from a modern combat system but its story mode is too short and the rooms are often empty.”
