What players say
A very good edition to the game, general playstyle and dlc levels are really good. The only comment that i can make is that the heroes that are unlocked close to the game's end are much better than the rest, which makes the game feel a little unbalanced in some occasions. I should be able to complete all the dlc levels in any mode with vesper or stregi etc. not one of the late dragons or wukong. Other than that...
