Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Another roguelikelike that doesn't understand how to balance permadeath. This game plays a normal squad game where the save function accidentally got removed. You can go for long stretches without dying not because you've learend anything…”
“The idea of this game is quite good and interesting. However, I don't think that idea was implemented very well... the game becomes boring after some time playing. The HUD is really poor and sometimes frustrating. Ran with a lot of bugs in…”
