- Generic fantasy elements
- Simple and uninteresting combat
- Lack of innovation, similar to other games
- Rules aren't crystal clear
- Not great for fewer than 4 players
- Combat doesn't do much
- Dice rolling for combat lacks strategy
- Mechanics are the same, just got swarmed
- It's just a dice roll and hope you roll high
- Characters don't have much to them
- Special abilities aren't complex
- Willpower is hard to get back
- Few scenarios are completed in a single game, limiting replayability through scenarios
- Only three villains, limiting replayability
