What players say
The game is fun, and presents just enough gameplay to be entertaining for a playthrough or two, or a few dozens of hours. But it doesn't come close to other popular games in Devolver Digital's assets - it feels more like a tablet game. And a pretty raw one too, it has the same problems most Unity Engine games do. I'd recommend getting it when it's on sale, but don't get carried away by the trailer, it's a much more...
I am only recommending this game because I enjoy the time i spent playing it. However, I have a couple of problems with this game: 1.

However, later on, I often find myself having to throw away less valuable but still...
Tried to push myself through this one but too many quality of life factors missing, tedious grinds, and just overall mediocre gameplay forced me to stop.
