What players say
A platformer about a baby rat fighting toads....I wonder what the developer was doing when coming up with the plot. But it's definitely worth playing the game, the beautifully drawn surroundings, atmosphere, and musical accompaniment don't get boring. We can pass a couple of evenings.
I really like this concept of anthropomorphing animals. Beautiful artwork. Pretty satisfying gameplay. Challenging in some places. Cant wait to try the second game.
This is a very solid game, and I find it unfortunate that I simply have to give it a negative review. The story is good and original = the rat kingdom is under attack by amphibious kingdom and some other aggressive species. The hand drawn graphics is cute and detailed. The soundtrack is good. It has lots of weapons and armor to chose from. It has a main quest line and some side quests. It comes with a DLC...
