What players say
90% of 3,266 reviews are positive · 90% of 20 in the last 30 days
Players praise the frozen atmosphere, 2D backgrounds, music, and tactical combat. The most common complaint is the volume of repeated enemy groups, which some players say makes combat tedious and unevenly balanced. Newer players also report a steep learning curve.
