“The dynamic events and choices in each session ensure that no two games are ever the same, making it incredibly replayable.”
“With multiple board layouts and a full range of characters, each of whom can be upgraded, the game effectively offers twice the number of characters to choose from (once unlocked), providing loads of replayability.”
