Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“The game looks amazing and has such a cool atmosphere that i really wanted to love it but the actual gameplay is bad. The combat is literally just click attack button and stack as much defense as possible. RNG punishment non stop on…”
“Do you know what keeps this game from being positive? Fake walls. There's a dungeon with over 50 fake walls and one of them is the correct way to PROGRESS THE GAME. And no, there's no way to tell, so you will look like an idiot pressing…”
