PSLS: Dragon Fin Soup is an upcoming PlayStation 4, PS Vita, PC, Mac, and Linux game being developed by Grimm Bros. It’s a dark and twisted game, taking influence from the original Grimm fairy tales, which are disturbing to say the least, yet it also is filled with a huge amount of humor.

Grimm Bros. have stated they cannot release an update to the Playstation versions of their Action RPG Dragon Fin Soup.
Well darn. I still have it installed on my Vita, but haven't touched it since its current state is unplayable. It's a shame, i was enjoying the game.
So Grimm Bros say that Blitworks has full control over the PS versions? But Blitworks said they were just hired to port it:
"We’re not happy at all with the version that is currently published of Dragon Fin Soup, because we had to port a game that was still in development, so it was terribly difficult. We hope the game ultimately gets to a stable point and we can properly patch it. Anyway, as a work for hire studio, you can only give your opinion, but the ultimate decision is not yours."

Well, I think it's fair that Sony give us ps plus members a non-broken game to sub for that month then?
Edit--And the people who bought it of course.
GA:
Seeing as Dragon Fin Soup is free for PlayStation Plus members this month, I can see the appeal of grabbing it. "It's free!" I can practically hear people saying. "How bad can it be?"
To answer to that rhetorical question: very. So bad, certainly, that it's not worth the precious space it takes up on your memory card, let alone the time it takes you to download. In short, Dragon Fin Soup is a lousy game that manages the impressive feat of not being worth a price tag of zero dollars and zero cents.
"Moving Red Robin around with the D-pad is a massive pain, and it only gets worse when you get sucked into a battle — when, as you'll quickly discover, there's no way of instantly turning to face your attacker, because why would you want to do that? Instead you get to fiddle with unresponsive controls and flail helplessly as enemies pound away at you, and it only ends when your familiars or party members are able to kill the monsters themselves."
What? Moving with the D-pad works just fine and you CAN turn to face your attacker instantly (without using a turn in battle) using the left or right stick. It makes me wonder if the reviewer even bothered to play past the first mission or even learned all of the controls.
This 'review' doesn't even touch on other aspects of the game, like the crafting or loot. It seems to only complain about losing money because they hit everything in the town with their weapon. There's a simple solution to this: just don't do that in the town! There ARE other ways to make money, like selling loot you pick up in dungeon areas. You know, where the villagers who might get mad at you for destroying their property DON'T live.
The only thing I agree with is that the art style and graphics are a little too muddy. Other then that, I've been enjoying this one myself. But I like games that have you grind dungeons for loot, and of course that type of game isn't for everyone.
EDIT: I also wanted to add that I've tried this both on PS4 and Vita and it seems better to play on the Vita due to the touch-screen controls. It's much easier to deal with your inventory and use things like bombs and bullets in dungeons.
I haven't play the game but I check user reviews in steam just because I was curious if it's really so bad like this dude says & it have over 100 positive reviews & the people there point that some issues with the controls or UI have been addressed already with patches few days after it's release, so this guy "rage" just to rage, I will recommend to find other resources to get info & opinions about this game as there countless people who fall in love with this game, just ignore this hater.
They need to hurry and patch it for Vita, I think the PC version receive a few patches already.
