“they need to fix the stupid skip screen it beeen a year now that it bug... dont support this they dont care about game being broken”
— a player, Steam review · 1,292 hrs played“I cannot recommend this game. The balance is non-existent. That huge skill tree that makes it look like there are a bunch of different playstyles, it doesn't matter. You need to fill the entire thing to progress through the game and even then you have to keep leveling.”
