Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Misplaced boss fights. This game is fantastic especially coming off the heels of Sword With Sauce. However, the boss fights are at best an interruption to the flow the game has going and at worst a roadblock to making any forward progress.”
“This game COULD be fun. Sometimes it is. The boss fights ruin it. Completely. Also the momentum physics in this game are screwy and don't feel good. Fighting mechanics are fun but a little clunky. Potentially fun, definitely not…”
