Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
146 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story feels like something from fairy tale, but with little bit of twist.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
128 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I think the majority of people who are interested in this game are so because of the pikmin-like nature strategy gameplay.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
90 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style and animations are adorable - the spritelings especially - and there is lots to do and explore, without being overwhelming.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The exploration and puzzle-solving are genuinely enjoyable, and commanding the Spritelings adds a fun strategic element to combat and environmental challenges.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Toward the end of campaign younger (beginner) players may get stuck in parts and may need some help, but overall decent level of puzzles and hints – steady learning curve and fail states are not too harsh, and can always rebuild from colossal failures - without resorting to saved games.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design (especially for transitioning between different times of day) is also really well done.
