That don’t make sense The tutorial needs more clarification specially in the sharpening . »👎 anonymous review · 0 h played« bare bones game with a bare bones tutorial »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« 1.0 release is a joke! This is merely a sandbox game with no point. Don't waste your time. »👎 anonymous review · 22 h played« game doesn't load for me and it features AI generated images. »👎 anonymous review · 0 h played« Fun game, a bit repetitive later on to unlock other areas, also 90% is more like 50/50 the amount if times i failed a 90% with a crazy overpowered hero still fails is ridiculous. »👍 anonymous review · 14 h played
