### 3/5 — Скучно

*2026-10-29*

Довольно быстро надоела

### 4/5 — Almost great

*2026-10-29*

Alright. They did an update but I can’t play right now to adjust my review accordingly. I’m guessing they fixed some stuff but not everything. I’ll check later.

### 3/5 — 可も無く不可も無く

*2026-10-29*

ドジボ大好きだったし、くにおくんシリーズはそこそこやってたからか、クラシックな要素は残りつつ、今どきのゲームにしたという感じは楽しめています。ただし、ヴァンサバ系なのにドパれる要素が0だし、ゲームデザインが全体的に手抜きというか、適当？なので、もうすぐ飽きる気がします。

### 5/5 — wow what a fun game, way better than i expected

*2026-10-28*

first of all, thank you for adding playstation 4 controller support, it’s so fun, i feel like i’m playing an 80s arcade game. second, it’s way deeper than i thought, equipping gear, enhancing it using unwanted gear, the powerups are awesome and my god the sound designer did an incredbile job, i love the sound when i pick up onigiri, thank you! i’ll be playing this game every day going forward

### 5/5 — River city awesome sauce

*2026-10-28*

The most fun I’ve had this year with an Apple Arcade game. Characters I play and love since renegade on the NES ( yes I’m that old) but fluid controller support, Tons of enemies on the screen with no lag, and a simple but fantastic story (zombies!) it’s blast to play especially with no IAP! Great job devs I hope you add its content as time passes by and port it to the switch 2!

### 3/5 — 이거 필살기로 죽이라는 퀘스트

*2026-10-27*

왜 안깨지는거야…

### 1/5 — Stop and Press Continue

*2026-10-26*

After tapping the screen exactly 10 times, you are allowed to play.

You may then enter a flow state, but don't worry, a wall of menus will make sure you do not stay there.

### 4/5 — 賛否分かれそう

*2026-10-26*

やり込み重視のローグライクなので、ヴァンサバ系と思って始めると序盤はガッカリするかも。

主にステージ周回でトロフィー集めや装備の選別をしていき、ステータスを底上げして強くなっていくゲームです。

### 4/5 — Great game but…

*2026-10-24*

I enjoy the game. Some things are self-explanatory but not many others. I think the main reason is just many things are only understandable if someone played this genre. But I never have played this genre so there are plenty of things that I just don’t understand because I am unfamiliar with the genre. It doesn’t help that the tutorials just don’t explain all that much unless I missed something. So I think instead of tutorials that while they can help. A in-game wiki would be significantly more helpful.

### 5/5 — Amazing !!

*2026-10-23*

This is really fun  all the things the boss battles everything
