Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a slow-paced experience may hit a wall when the beat ’em up combat begins.
- Players who prefer a single fixed combat style may find the four characters’ distinct systems and special moves demanding to learn.

Our take on Russian Reality
Players who want one stable moveset may bounce when choosing among four characters: each has a distinct combat system and special techniques. The boss encounters add another point of friction, since the game calls for different approaches rather than relying on one repeated tactic.
