Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Roguelite game where the New Game button after a run does not start a new RUN, it wipes all your meta progression and starts you over from scratch. Lost all my progress and desire to play ever again. Hope this helps someone else avoid this…”
“I can't recommend this game in its current state. There are tons of bugs that hasn't been fixed yet. You get constantly stuck while moving both interior and exterior, infinite explosions, combat that doesn't end even when you killed all…”
