Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I bought this game under the understanding it was a 'haunted house tycoon'. Nothing 'tycoon' about it at all. Very misleading. It's more of a 'tower defense' game with haunted house elements. That's about it.”
“I read the reviews and understood the risks but not being able to complete the levels was a huge negative. The game is more frustrating than fun and gave up in the end. Even the sandbox mode doesn't work properly. Avoid until the games…”
