“I would like to write positively. But the game is a small version of the first. - There are bugs and you need to balance. -Wants registration. -The game is short. In everything . -Same problems as part 3. -It repeats a lot , unnecessary…”
“If you want to play a decent dungeons game go play dungeons 2 or 3, in this game objectives are very dragged on and boring. Graphics are purely ugly, and you get no sense of accomplishment playing it. Quarantine is more fun than this game.”
