Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay has been enjoyable for the two hours I have played, and while I could see it becoming grindy, it has already been well worth playing.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics are good and the art is cute to look at and this games sound track is actually good, or at least good enough for me to not mute like I usually do.

Monetization
Players who bring up Monetization mostly praise it.
Devs sound like they're planning on releasing paid DLC for additional "Chapters" down the line, but I'm ~10+ hours in to the first Chapter and still haven't quite completed it, so there's plenty of value in checking it out.

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
The only downside for me personally is the lack of character art variation/uniqueness for the enemies as they're pretty much the same thing but a different size. also if there were more varieties of runes, weapons and turrets/traps the game would be near perfect. adding more weapons into a new dlc like a spear, shield or even a wand(magic) would be amazing. also a magic system itself would be cool as f too.

I wish there was a multiplayer mode, that would be fun to play with a friend
