Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I saw it in ads on social media platforms and downloaded it. They present it in the ads as if it’s a brand-new game, and with excitement we download it from Steam — only to realize that the game actually has a history going back to 2023…”
“The price they want you to pay for things in this game is outrageous. And balance is crazy out of wack. Being lvl 20 and under and getting matched up against lvl 35+ is just completely unfair. I'd pass bois.”
