73 of 178 sampled reviews raised it
I was suggested this game by a backer of it, specifically because they enjoyed the "Emotion" of the voice acting and story.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
26 of 178 sampled reviews raised it
In particular, the voice acting is fantastic (particular shout out to Morgan Berry as our protagonist, Tama, but everyone really delivers here.) The game is not incredibly lengthy.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
11 of 178 sampled reviews raised it
It also helps that all the magic attacks have great animations and sound design, there is a lot of satisfaction from hitting things in this game, and it's difficulty makes doing well all the more rewarding.
