Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“On paper this seems like an incredible game, but in practice it's incredibly clunky and extremely time-consuming. Perhaps if this was marked as early access or cost only half as much as it currently does I may be more lenient on it, but…”
“Don't bother leveling your monsters too high, as soon as i got to about lvl 15 they where crippled whenever they fight. nevermind that i manual battled and they didn't take any dmg, apparently you are not allowed to have favourites…”
