The gameplay is often criticized for its inconsistency and lack of depth, with frustrating controls and a superficial progression system that detracts from the overall experience. While the game has some redeeming qualities, many players find the mechanics uninspired and the interface obstructive, leading to a generally disappointing experience.
“The package as a whole is good enough to not be an embarrassment, but there are far too many times where the interface gets in the way of the entertainment that the generally passable gameplay provides.”
“Even when the game is bad, inconsistent controls ramp up frustration quickly, uninspired gameplay, little variation.”
“The voice acting and dialogue are atrocious, and the in-game purchases feel like a shameless money grab.”
