Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
35 of 109 sampled reviews raised it
The descriptive text is excellent and the survival mechanic makes sense, but I'd like to see the monsters/dungeons tied to the narrative a bit more.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
17 of 109 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is fast enough (outside of one boss) that it's never really a slog.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
16 of 109 sampled reviews raised it
Minion fights near the end became somewhat repetitive, but the bosses where a really tough nut to crack, esp. on the highest difficulty.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
14 of 109 sampled reviews raised it
I like the art style, the different types of characters you can play (some excel in close combat, some excel at ranged, and some excel at random events - such as duplicating cards).
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
13 of 109 sampled reviews raised it
-The card design dynamic is very fun and allows for a massive amount of variability in character abilities.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
11 of 109 sampled reviews raised it
It ties in the weird, repetitive things that games make you do into the narrative of the game, and I really appreciate that.
