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

“I like the concept and the art style. The mechanics are woefully unbalanced across the board. The deckbuilding combat effects make no sense in the context of the game world. The macro-game progression is trivially simple. Needs a few…”

“This game has a lot going for it, but it doesn't stick the landing as well as other deck-building games. The sub-par tutorialization made the gameplay confusing to follow and progression was not satisfying enough for me to continue.”
