What players say

Originally a mobile game, much better on pc, no pop up ads like the mobile version. But please devs, we NEED online multiplayer mode. Also, kinda sucks having to buy DLCs to complete achievements. Overall 4/10

Funny concept, bad execution, horrible UI, DLC abuse. Game wants your money without even making the effort to be properly implemented and fun to play with.
Yami no tenshiNot recommendedafter 2.1hJun 2026Read on Steam
I'd give it a solid 6/10. For a port of a mobile game, it's fine. A bit buggy and repetitive, but that's to be expected. Got if for a dollar, so it's good enough for a rainy day at least.
