The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Not nearly as good as the other games they've made. Dull story that's forced in your face, easy levels. Quite sad because I quite enjoyed the other games, especially Desperados 3.”
“It is a good game mechanically. Why the thumbs down then? Well, it's story and characters. Shadow tactics had really great characters that you can associate with, to which you can care. Those here are generic (un)dead pirates. No soul…”
