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

I do like the game, but do not buy. I can not progress in the game past a few levels in because it forces you to play online with other players, and now I have been on 2 separate occasions, both times waited hours, and it will not allow me to see, or join, any other game. OR let me create a game to play. There are ones I can, with difficulty, play and beat "solo" but the PVP is completely broken.
Dan DadNot recommendedafter 2.0hJun 2026Read on Steam
I can't recommend this. The foundation of this game is good, but too many bad design choices make the game very grindy and frustrating.
