March 2025
Such a bizzare and vulgar game by SUDA51, yet I enjoyed it. The only thing this game lacks is vertical gameplay, but that's just my opinion.

I'd say it's a 10/10 for me. Perfectly absurd story loving it so far. You just need to change the entry in KidEngine.ini file then the crashes should be fixed.

I played this in the Steam Deck, had to edit the engine.ini and then run it with proton experimental to stop it from crashing every 20 minutes. Technical issues issues aside, a absolutely loved this game. The combat was really cool and I like Suda51's work in general.
