Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Unfortunately, I can not recommend this game. It is cute and so. But: - controls are terrible - battles are messy and unbalanced - cats are wandering all over the place going out of reach and getting themselves killed - no way to build…”
“The clumsy controls and camera discouraged me to play the game. Too awkward even as an adult, let alone for the young ones. A pity because it looked like it could be fun to play.”
