Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Feels like a puzzle game. It's a fine line: resource management vs puzzle game. The former leaves more room for individual strategies and approaches; the latter means you gotta figure out the correct way to do stuff and follow it then…”
“the runs are way, way too long for a roguelike of this difficulty. look at the global acheivement stats - nearly 50% of all acheivements have been completed by less than 1% of people, with 20+ have been completed by 0%. at that point it…”
