Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“The game constantly reminds you about its inspiration sources. Here is a monster looking like a Castlevania! Here is a corridor that resembles the one from Castlevania! This enemy looks like a Disney character, isn't it funny? It isn't…”
“Mixed feelings. It’s very short and gets boring fast. If it’s free, maybe try it, but otherwise skip.”
