Endless crashing

Love the game and it’s very fun Kirby meets dead cells, but it crashes anytime I’ve been on a floor that had intense combat for more than 5 minutes. I had to kill the chimera over 8 times just to experience the story bit by bit because it kept crashing as I was trying to enjoy the story and then it crashed while I was evaluating boss items which required another 2 victories against the chimera. I finally managed to skip all the dialogue I had already read and enter the next zone but it’s really frustrating to deal with these crashes. I’ve probably had the game crash over 20 times since playing it. Otherwise the opacity on the controls should be able to be adjusted and easier to read and click on item skills without triggering other buttons like your quintessence. I’d be happy to give 5 stars once the bugs are fixed.

My favorite game of all time.

That said, I ended up playing it on the Switch instead. Still fun on the phone if you don’t have a Switch.

My second favorite game is Dead Cells and third is Hades.
