Get your expectations in check when you release your game next to Elden Ring, Horizon Forbidden West and Gran Turismo 7.
Only one of those games are one Steam.
So? Aren’t most people gaming on more than one system?
It wasn’t the best idea to launch it against a highly anticipated game like Elden Ring.
Not the best idea to launch a mediocre game, either.
Yeah you gotta let the dust settle from Elden Ring before releasing something like this. It also doesn't help that the game isn't really that great to begin with.
Didn't even know the game was released.
Well at least 650 people knew

Is this a timed exclusive? wonder what the cost was if so.

Square Enix with another bomb
Ouch! A shame, I like Platinum Games.
Nobody asked for this though,
I smell a F2P conversion coming on...
Seems like Platinum Games didn`t hit gold this time. Much less platinum.
Honestly, when I've watched trailers there isn't much that appeals to me. It looks like a team based hack and slash but I can't tell what is going on or what 'plot' there is at all. Everything is flashy.
To be honest, after I saw the trailer for the gameplay....I became uninterested. The effort seems lacking. Every time Platinum does games for Nintendo, they do extremely well and it's received well. (Except for Star Fox Zero)
It's not like the game was anything truly unique or special, not to mention that from it's preview footage, the game already looked dated and lacklustre, so it's no surprise it's not done well.
Probably didn't help that it was also limited to two places and not all 4.
Also, after a quick search of it on Steam via no account on the web browser, it turns out I cannot even find the damn game at all. Tried searching for it via the Steam client itself and cannot even find it there. No wonder their game is doing so shit, it's likely region locked and not even being sold to the UK, fucking great job SE!.
