Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Not worth full price. It is fun for an hour or two but becomes frustrating. Especially when they start forcing you to trade tactics for puzzle solving. Get it on sale if at all.”
“Starting levels are fun but it gets progressively more imbalanced. Why do all the other teams get 1.5x gold and more starting gold? Extremely repetitive”
