A janky, cheap Chinese hack-and-slash with fast, fun combat, tons of outfits and mods. Skip it if you need a proper English translation, polish or depth, or won't buy on sale.
Great for
Hack-and-slash fans who tolerate jank and bad translation and enjoy outfits, mods and silly charm on a deep sale
Main risk
Poor or missing English translation and unpolished, repetitive design make it feel like a cheap prototype.

Recent Steam votes dip to 79% positive versus 89% overall. The few recent negatives mention low-effort skin-only characters, bad translation and mediocre gameplay; evidence is thin.
