What players say
Players are split. Some enjoy the relaxing, low-difficulty city builder with cute characters and a short 5-7 hour campaign, while others criticize the clunky building controls, confusing UI, shallow trade and negotiation systems, and poor localization. The negotiation battle is noted as a wasted potential, with a simple rock-paper-scissors loop that becomes tedious.
