The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“the game itself is alright, basically warhammer simplified, wiht a sort of roguelike campaign to it. however the AI art is unforgivable, as a placeholder maybe but this has been out for long enough and taking money for basically over half…”
“Using Ai is a massive L but apart from that the game is good which makes the use of AI even more disapointing”
