- “The character art and gameplay looks stunning and I really loved this game, but the thing is the game is poorly optimized.”

- “The graphics are great and the game is really fun, but even on a top-of-the-line LG or Motorola, it crashes or freezes after every quest or even sometimes before it crashes when you change screens. Overall, it's a three; the game is a 5 out of 5 when it works, but that's the issue—it doesn't often work.”
