The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Uh no. Dont. The frame rates cant hold for whatever reason, the AI is terrible, which I initially forgave thinking it was still early acess. The concept is neat, it's like a 3rd person Left 4 Dead mixed with Baulder's Gate but in this form…”
“I'm voting this down just because there are literally no people online and I'm forced to play alone. Which is boring as hell. Please advertise this game more. I see I'm getting a lot of downvotes here so I'll explain more. I only got to…”
