User reviews

Dreadful.

I would understand if this game was in German, but Japanese? There is no way of changing the language and every action with the machine requires you to watch a 30 second advertisement. Absolutely ghastly.

Not in English and flooded with ads

Despite being in the English store, this isn't in English which makes it difficult to use. Pretty much any action you take results in an intrusive advert. Deleted with a minute of downloading.
