Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
158 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Dungeons are quite intricate and full of optional secrets to discover, while towns have many quests to accomplish for not only rewards but also crafting recipes or special items.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I thought it was going to be a basic "You have a sword, it does 28 damage, there are only 12 weapons" and it turned out to be a plethora of weapons and armor that do a lot of different things from adding status effects, to elemental damage bonuses.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
TLDR: It's good, if you want to waste time on a bland arpg/hack&slash with a mmorpg level of story and quests.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
When I intentionally listen to the music, I'd have to say it's quite a bit better than the visuals, as it makes good use of its instrumentation.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Quantity isn't always the most important factor though, but local coop could also be an interesting feature.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Character customization is great but the graphics didn't impress (and I like lots of pixel art games).
