Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Space Gladiators is a great roguelite that combines the solid gameplay of Hollow Knight with the amazing roguelite mechanics of Binding of Isaac to create a spectacular experience that I truly think is way too underrated.

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
I have like 50 hours in the game and one of the main reasons is because the combat is so tight and responsive and Space Gladiators pretty much perfectly emulates the core gameplay of it.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
This game offers really fluid movement and combat w/ a very unique hand drawn art style.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The charm of the game comes from the hand-drawn artwork, the mostly ridiculous sound effects, and the ease and fluidity of the controls.
