Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Not so great. It's a short game, and very unbalanced. A card called 'Conviction' in particular gives you infinite action points AND card draw just by itself. You're also given a bunch of plot-related choices that don't actually make any…”
“comprei por causa do Jovem Nerd! mas parece que o jogo nao esta acabado! muito crash a historia as vezes acontece algumas coisas sem pe nem cabeca e eh um jogo muito repetitivo”
