I've only played this game for two minutes, but it was enough to make me move it all the way to the back of the backlog. Why?
I loaded it up, got a screen asking me to create a Nickname and optionally, give my E-mail address and Twitter. I could also pick an avatar that included the default male or female characters or my Steam picture.
I chose the Steam picture and used my default name. Tried to save, got a logic error that said an object wasn't being referenced properly. Tried using the suggested nickname and/or a combination of the original avatar choices and yielded the same result.
So, I clicked "Close" in the top-right with the mouse. Nothing. Clicked around for a bit. Nothing. Checked my controller that was plugged in. Nothing. Hit Escape and it took me to the main menu as though nothing was wrong. Clicked on my profile, had it fail to save again, then hit Escape again and got back to the menu with my actual preferences.
Since I had the controller (a PS4 Dualshock) active, I tried to go to Settings...and found that the controller had no way to reach that menu. I had to use the mouse to navigate over to Settings. From there, I went to check the usual stuff, then went back to the main menu.
This already felt kinda awkward, so I figured maybe I'd give this a go another time. Went to quit and realized there was no way to access that without using the mouse (despite being able to reach all the game-related menus with the gamepad), so I moused back and chose to quit.
If your sign-up notice fails to do its function properly and you haven't QA'd that and it's the first thing I encounter, I'm wary. When your controls don't allow me to access settings or quit the game by means that should be enabled, I'm out.
Maybe I'll try it later with just KBM, but not interested at the moment. I'm not rating it though because the game might genuinely be fun and I can't admit to giving it a fair shake at this time.
EDIT: Played it through the first area and feel like I'm okay with just giving up on it. The tutorials are literally "here's some arrows pointing to things on screen with no explanation of what they actually do", there's an "Info" button on the battle screen page that doesn't actually work, and both the character and monster sprites are three frames of animation that doesn't even involve walking -- they literally glide over to each other and then damage happens.
HARD PASS.
