The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“i liked the combat of the previous games can't say the same about this one and i wish they would've kept the dub cast i hope if we get another game that it goes back to the original game play style”
“I want to preface by saying I 100% cleared DERQ & DERQ 2 and loved every minute of it. This game is not like those. If you buy this, get it on discount and play through the story. If you struggle use cheat engine or something to "help."…”
