Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“This is a close one and would probably be like a 5-6/10, but honestly it's a tedious game without much spark. A lot of creativity and some cool ideas, but the juice really isn't worth the squeeze and the amount of fun for time played just…”
“Concept in interesting in theory but the game in reality gets very repetitive with a nearly identical gameplay loop despite the "variety" in units and classes. This combined with the fact that a lot of the content is locked behind this…”
