« Jeu trop difficile. Un narratif-like déguiser en jeu tactique. Le placement et les armes n'ont aucun impact. Le but ? mourir pour avoir d'autres bonhommes et les faire mourir à leur tour pour avoir une histoire. Super. »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« En écriture inclusive, c'est complètement inutile de faire ça. Dommage que je ne l'ai pas vu plus tôt .. »👎 anonymous review · 8 h played« Lent, pas beau, on a vite fait le tour. Très peu de possibilités / monstres / ... Les événements aléatoires n'apportent rien. On se croirait sur une alpha. »👎 anonymous review · 8 h played« I was expecting a cute game with fun voice acting and decent strategy. Instead it's poorly written comics, with absolutely terrible music, ridiculously easy strategy maps. It's boring, and I hate it. I hate everything about it. »👎 anonymous review · 4 h played« idea is cool, not into the art, gameplay feels shallow »👎 anonymous review · 6 h played« Très bon RPG en tour par tour, ressemble pas mal à une campagne de jeu de plateau qui peut être fait à plusieurs, jusqu'à 5 joueurs. Une DA intéressante, des histoires ponctué de pointe d'humour et une bonne musique d'ambiance. »👍 anonymous review · 24 h played
