The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Enjoyable enough if you like Magicka & want a knock off. However seems to be yet another victim of FrozenByte's 'don't give a sheet' attitude that's made them a poor developer in recent years. Levels are completely linear, if pretty…”
“I can't recommend this game. It isn't really fun, even with friends as it just drags on. Fighting the same enemies over and over again, and if you don't fight them, you will be fighting the camera. Runs take 4-5 hours + the rougelight…”
