Skip it if you…

Our take on Turtle Riders
Players who struggle with aiming under pursuit will likely bounce off when enemies and bosses attack during the journey. The upgrade system may also become a sticking point for anyone who does not want to assemble builds from talents, elemental attacks, weapons, and stat improvements.
