Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Failure to start on Steam Deck, despite "verified" status. Meanwhile "unsupported" games run fine. Make it make sense.”
“Huge fan of original arcade releases. The user interface is horribly un-intuitive. Won't recognise my generic game controller. When using keyboard to play, if holding fire button down, you can't move up and left. Very disappointing.”
