Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“The game is great but when even playing solo, not being able to close the game mid run and jump back in where you left off is idiotic. The typical run, from what I've experienced, can last up to two hours. Let me save and quit the game…”
“This game could, and should, be extremely fun. At its base, it has great combat systems, artstyle and concepts, but it just misses the mark as you keep playing. It has an incredibly unfun gameplay loop, the difficulty goes up exponentially…”
