Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Too punishing and frustrating in late/superlate game. You have limited deaths, plus each next boss only becomes progressively harder, so gl learning their new patterns with what little 2-4 tries left in you. Failed? Start the entire run…”
“Positives: good bosses, learning patterns is fun, visually beautiful, nice storytelling. Negatives: - no practice mode - makes you waste time. OK in the beginning, but gets frustrating soon. - *spoiler* Only one try on the final boss…”
