A vibrant game cover featuring a unique character in an engaging fantasy world with lush landscapes and mysterious elements.

A dedicated group of players is voicing disappointment over a once-promising game that failed to capture the attention it deserved. On various forums, fans express their frustration about how early negative perceptions led to its current status.

Mixed Reactions from the Community

While some find joy in the gameplay, others feel let down by the lack of support from developers.

Player Sentiments

  1. Multiplayer Access: A number of players stress that the need for subscriptions like PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live hindered engagement early on. One forum member remarked, "You've needed ps+ and xbox live for multi-player for ages now, thatโ€™s not on the devs."

  2. Unrealized Hype: Some players believe the initial hype drowned the game's longevity. "It wasnโ€™t that bad at launch," one user mentioned. "But people hyped it too much and slammed it when it came out."

  3. Loyal Player Base: Despite its flaws, a core community continues to show loyalty. โ€œStill play weekly. Great Game, City Patrolling & Heroic Assault daily,โ€ said a fan.

"Honestly I love this game. There are a few things I donโ€™t like about it."

Deficiencies and Apathy

Critics point to a lack of meaningful updates as a significant downfall. Players lament the one DLC that merely added cosmetic changes instead of introducing substantial content. The sentiment is loud and clear: the game could have benefited from post-launch support.

Key Takeaways

  • โ—‡ Subscriptions like PS+ and Xbox Live limited player access.

  • โ–ฝ Early criticism stunted the game's growth.

  • โšก "Some people crapped on it from the beginning." - Committed player.

  • โœ… A small but loyal community remains active.

It's clear the game's initial potential was overshadowed by timing and feedback. As players rally for change, one must wonder: could developers step back in to revive this title? The conversation isnโ€™t over yet.
