The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I like the artstyle and its generally fun to play, even tho some characters seem not well balanced to each other. What i dislike is when the boss is like twice as strong as the last wave before that. So all waves I kill easily and suddenly…”
“Cool game, but definitely not enough content for a game that costs €13... I know it is still early, buuut.... After a few plays the game is too repetable and overall feels like cheaper (but apparently more expensive ^^) version of other…”
