- “Its 5 or so quests and 3 bosses will take no more than an hour to defeat, and don't so much as treat you to any sort of ending.”
- “As mentioned in the outset, the game is a start-to-finish series of 'defeat the enemy' quests without much variation.”
- “The quests and dialogues are very basic and only send you to kill 5 or 10 somethings.”
