Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Manorlord clone set in the Chinese Warring States era. I find it ironic they made a gridless citybuilder based on a historic culture that was all about cardinal square grid urban planning. Kind of boring, though I also found early release…”
“I don't know how Steam allows such a blatant ripoff of another game. This is as close as you can get to passing off someone else's work as your own. It's a jankier version of Manor Lords brought to you by Chіna. 0/10”
