What players say

Took me years to finally finish it, not because it's long or hard... it's because it's meh at best.

There is no dialog with voice acting for the story. The cool downs are way to long. It is to much of a grind which is also the point of this game. Killing the bosses/mini bosses is not rewarding enough and provide you health...
