User Reviews
It was definitely worth the $4. I love the different weapon effects and build options. There was a fair amount of enemy diversity and many characters to choose from. What made me move on from the game, was that you are always in a circular arena. Also the shop doesn't seem to cater to what you pick in any way and sometimes certain items you might expect or hope to find won't appear at any rarity. Not everything was translated but a majority of it was and i did'nt have too much trouble.
