Review bombing? P2W? Nani tf are reviews on about?

[Reimu Hakurei x3]

Alot of these negative reviews are very sus, theres some of them that show concern about spyware and some that make claims that make no sense, I don't mind people disliking a game I like or anything but alot of these seem like organized review bombing since they repeat the same things and some of these things are not even part of the game. Or can so many thousands of people actually not realize they are playing a demo that is a work in progress, then leave a negative review without giving valuable input to the Dev team?

For example, nobody bother this user if you find them but this one as an example.

Bad: Style over substance. ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mobile game vibes. May be one of the most egregious UI nightmares I've ever laid eyes on. Battle pass. God-awful story, voice acting, etc. Shockingly bad tutorialisation and on-boarding. Wack as hell extraction mode.

Good: Robots are cool. Impressive, if outrageously horny character customisation. Extremely impressive, if micro-transaction-y mecha painting. Wack as hell extraction mode.



It's like if Armored Core had a baby with Anarchy Reigns and that baby was a predator and sexual deviant.

Do better. Don't pay for this.

"God-awful story,"
We literally don't know the story yet because it's still in development, so how can you comment on it if you haven't witnessed it? It's an intro of it's begging, it barely registered to me that there are probably aliens involved.

"voice acting,"
It's literally marked in each line how it says it's not the final voice over. Why would you leave a negative rating on a work in progress that specifically tells you that it's a work in progress and not the final product?

"if outrageously horny character customisation. "
You mean women that look like women? That's starting to make the comment even more sus, who sees normal looking women, be it thicc or anime girl-ish and calls it "outrageously horny" for being attractive? A 10 year old?

"if micro-transaction-y "
Bish theres not even a store, it's been down the very day you posted that review, Beta came out today without a store. Nani tf?

"sexual deviant."
Por que?

"Do better. Don't pay for this."
It's a free demo.

There were alot of reviews like this, unsubstantiated claims of spyware, criticisms of a story they are yet to witness, voice lines that are not the final product and what I presume are woke asylum escapees thinking the game is porn. There were many legit looking reviews too, but the bad ones are truly tragic.

Did I miss something though, any merit to spyware panic, was there something in the store that I missed?

I miss Hawken...

I just noticed how many of the reviews are copy-paste too. I wonder what's going on

[HighLanderPony]

It is P2W though, or will be.

The reviews are deserved. Some points are valid and having Kernel Level Anticheat that has to be manually uninstalled and will stick even if you uninstall the game... is unacceptable and that alone is worth a negative review.

What about it is pay to win? I can't seem to access the store to check.

You think Mods and stuff like "buy big bombs for mission X" won't get P2W?

look on the steam page for the demo. On the right side you'll see an orange warning. It's using ACE and even if you delete the game... the anticheat will stick! It doesn't go away at all. It's still there and will still work and monitor your system. Weird huh? I advise going on to google and finding exactly how to get rid of it. I didn't install this after seeing the warning. So disappointing imo.

So it's NOT pay to win but you think it will be pay to win? See this is what I mean, how can someone leave a negative review calling it P2W when it's objectively not just because of what they think might happen. As far as I know anyways since as I said I can't see yet.

You'd need to be hyper gullilble or naive to think this won't turn into a P2W stat check fest with the systems in place.

You'll be able to buy the yellow currency which'll let you buy credits which'll let you buy stuff... the writing is on the wall for anyone who's been through this before.

Oh cmon you seriously think it won't be heavily P2W? All the systems are there for it. They're there for a reason. It's like saying Diablo Immortal is not P2W lol. But sure if you want to believe that... go ahead! Invest all the time into it and get stomped by people who spend more money than you.
