Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“This is actually the worst game ever created, the characters are all insufferable, the story is making me want to rip out my eyes and chew on them and the fighting is horrendous. Do not make the same mistake as me and buy this abomanation”
“At first I quite liked the game, but the longer I kept playing the more annoying the characters got. The fights where too easy. If you died you just kept getting revieved and you could just skip the fights overall. I also hated the ending…”
