The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Absolutely no way to get into the game as a new player. You will get matched with the same one of the 10 active players every game you play and you will get stomped because they have vastly more powerful cards and optimized decks”
“The first Duelyst was perfect. Whoever remade Duelyst 2 ruined the game. They tethered the game more towards what they liked, changing, nerfing, and removing things that made the game amazing. I was soo excited to see this game be released…”
