Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Needs some QoL. There are tons of times that you have no idea what's really going on. Also the combat system is a bit janky. Sometimes it auto ends your turn other times not. So you go to click end your turn and the GuI hasn't caught up…”
