The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“even at $2, this game isn't worth it. terrible design and the last boss is just cheesy. The only good thing about this game is Call but even she's not fun to play, just look for her fan art. 3/10”
“As a stupid little teenager I thought the retro hero skin was a really cool free pre-order bonus not knowing that the skin disappears when you switch weapons and is actually just hard mode. I have since learned to never buy any pre-order…”
