Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Even when you "do everything right" certain enemies wander outside the target zone and you watch your towers slowly die while your character whifs at thin air. Don't get wowed by the pretty pixel graphics, this game is mid and the bugs…”
“Its not good at all. Feels unbalanced and the enemies can out range the swordsman, so if you don't choose a counter or active skill, well, enjoy the softlock.”
