Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
120 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A lot of the Exhibits are impactful for most builds without being truly ridiculous, with only a couple stinkers (butter-passing robot, I'm looking at you) or standouts (20 energy after every fight or auto-upgrade new ability cards).
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
High Replayability - With 4 currently released playable characters, regular updates, difficulty selection, and request modifiers?
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has a learning curve but I’ve found all the difficulty modes to be very doable (although Lunatic mode with all the modifiers toggled on can be daunting and unfair, but still fun).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It feels like it's helping to tell a story and make the game more immersive, which to be clear is not usually a strong suit of deck builders, but I get deeply engrossed in this one way beyond the usual mechanical analysis when I play StS or other top tier games of the genre, and I attribute a good chunk of that to the music.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is excellent and the translation is pretty good but still a little lacking.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The fun visuals and great music really make the experience shine compared to other deckbuilders.
