Top critical reviews

“It's a gorgeous game, with amazing, fast-paced gameplay, but... The devs abandoned the game, and all the players left with them. It's just a ghost town now.”
“Unfortunately no longer works, even offline/solo. Should really be removed from sale. The game has been abandoned by both players and developers and has been left in an unplayable state.”
