Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
149 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Not to mention that games meant to be played couch co-op are somewhat rare, and this one really does feel like it’s made for two players sitting next to each other.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
95 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game has great gameplay, gameplay loops, bosses, maps, art style, sound design, music, and I was not expecting it to give you so many choices and make you think: should we go here or get this item, should we pick this character/ship, what challenge should we do, etc.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Just a good, fun game that can also pose some serious difficulty if you are not coordinated enough.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are pretty cute and the sound effects and soundtrack are on point.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Very engaging gameplay, charming artstyle(I'm personally fond of it), the seafaring thematic, good writing with its dialogue and naming conventions, alot of playstyles(Both character choice and items), and an amazing soundtrack!
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Just don’t forget to reload, plus having a melee with the paddle is fun to use.
