    • “The mechanics are very simple at first but get deeper the more you advance, in a pretty good pacing too.”
    • “Translation needs a lot of work since it's a hot mess — one thing has two to three different translations, and that muddies up the gameplay and overall understanding of mechanics.”
    • “Terribly translated, some of the tutorials are very hard because the wording doesn't make much sense, but the gameplay is fresh and unique, and you will soon find yourself using a variety of weapons and styles to become a seriously nasty gladiator!”
