The humor in the reviews primarily stems from players' sarcastic remarks about the game's monetization strategies and perceived lack of originality, particularly in relation to its similarities with established titles like "Vampire: The Masquerade."

“Funny that the devs think players will drop $50-100 on a 'daily pack'.”
“Just wanted to comment how funny it is that this thing seems to steal content from Vampire: The Masquerade (a tabletop game made in the 90s, and Bloodlines, the PC game).”
