Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“good concept but definitely not enough content and the playtime is made up by ridiculous grinding. Most times you get to the shop it feels like the special item is the same amount of gold as all the money on the map after youve gone…”
“The system where you can't use the game's fundamental gameplay mechanics on Act 2+ (without significant grind) is absurd.”
