Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“This dungeon crawler is a port from Nintendo 3DS and this explain why game have strange controls. Unfortunately this doesn't explain why this game is so boring and bland. Legend of Grimrock is better in every possible scenario.”
“Great concept but I think the swipe to attack mechanic is better on a small touch screen then using a mouse.”
