Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Regretfully I cannot in good conscious give this anything but a negative review despite the fact that I dearly loved this game in its day. The hard truth is that this is not a game you can play solo. It is a team vs team PvP experience…”
“I love this game yet i sadly cannot recommend it as the game has been dead for years. FPS/RTS games are super fun to me (this is why i love ND) but i cant recommend a game that's been dead for nearly 5 years. Great game but no player base”
