Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“This game had so much potential, sadly the devs pretty much stopped working on it after they launched instead of possibly creating new maps, runes and spells and even different game modes. Now that the game is free to play, it's definitely…”
“It was okay. Jumpscares, but they are cheesy. Admittedly, I jumped a few times, but the effect wears off quite fast and I haven't play it that long. It had a weird learning curve and is still fun if you play with friends that get scared…”
