However, some users still find elements of fun within the gameplay experience.
“Fun gameplay.”
“Gameplay is incredibly janky as you have to stop moving to attack.”
“This game doesn't know whether it is an arcade-type game with no real power-up mechanics and poorly designed combat, a collect-and-build game, or a party RPG fighting game.”

“Game is fun, controls are okay, but unfortunately I am unable to make any in-game purchases or watch ads.”
“Edit: For some reason, the in-app purchases are broken.”
