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

“Not balanced, clunky animations, hit boxes, and maps can be run from end to end in under 5 seconds, no exaggeration. Melee monsters somehow hitting turrets on a roof 20 feet away too, lol.”

“The game is fun... until you realize how small it is. 3 playable maps... with only a max stage of 100. It took me 7 hours to tie the high score in SP on all 3 maps. The game itself wouldn't be more worth it with more maps however…”
