Devs Defend Highguard Amid Negative Reviews

Wildlight Entertainment’s first game, Highguard, had a very eventful launch week. It quickly attracted over 97,000 players, but almost immediately received “Overwhelmingly Negative” reviews on Steam.

Interestingly, developers who weren’t even involved in making Highguard are now publicly defending it.
