The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.

“Interesting story, beautiful graphics, and a game type that I enjoy. Unfortunately, the micromanagement is beyond ludicrous. Why is my raw iron sitting in the docking bay because I don't have storage for it? Oh, my storage is full of it…”
