While the overall gameplay and strategy elements are enjoyable, these technical problems detract from the experience and require urgent updates to improve performance.

    • “Good game to a certain point. For example, in hard chapter number 5, it gets to a mod game, then freezes and doesn't let me do anything apart from quit. I have banana to summon monkeys and tentacles to summon when my people did. Maybe this is why it freezes—too many people trying to come out at once. If so, this needs updating and fixing.”
