What players say
Alright, the game isn't bad...it's just weird. Gameplay makes me thinks of Vermintide, since you can only attack with a melee weapon, but the combat is not very good because your weapon range is really short and often you will take a hit trying to hit the enemy. Other attacks comes from friends you can party, up to 3 per run, and they have their own weapons. The part that really makes this a bad game is the fact...
