Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Gets repetitive after awhile, The lack of combination weapons or anything to upgrade after your runs makes the game incredibly shallow.”
“I hope this message reaches the devs, because this game used to be super fun. But since the update it's just a headache. New items were introduced, new pets, and it's created a balance issue where I can't get the items I need in the shop…”
