Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“The art style is cool, and the brawling has weighty but responsive animations which make it feel fun to fight the enemies. But so much of the game isn't about the pretty nice but not exactly special brawling mechanics, the majority of it…”
“Very fun and beautiful rogue like game until you get platforming parts and you throw away all founded wepons, enchants, full armor, crafts everything couse you insta die if you fall. Very bad design decision.”
