The drop-off

81% start to 2% rarest

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

the lane-based gameplay is just kind of annoying, and the combat is shallow and repetitive. it's just not all that good. i wish it was more fun because it's quite pleasing aesthetically.
