Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“clunky and slow, incredibly unbalanced, engaging in melee is the best 100% of the time, it works as tanking and damage since it shuts off range combat, there's no point to range in this game, it's a waste unless you can kill an enemy…”
“The combat was really slow to execute. I couldn't get into it. It feels like the combat is sinking time to pad the game play hours. That may not be the case, but it feels that way. No zip mode, no animation speed. Cheat Engine's speed hack…”
