Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“It's $4 bucks. You'll get your moneys worth, but it's super laggy, navigating the UI is abysmal with a gamepad and it gets really repetitious really quick. There is enough potential here to work with for sure, so if these issues don't…”
“This game was supposed to be fun, it was supposed to fill the itch for another nice game like Vampire Survivors but... This is pure disaster. At least I couldn't feel any pleasure playing it - 88 minutes of playing it just gave me anger…”
