Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics and sound design in Dirge are simply stunning.
12 of 142 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
In the free version, you get a decent selection of characters and weapons, all of which play differently, but only 1 monster and 3 maps.
8 of 142 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
Would absolutely recommend this to anyone who loves co-op horror games and I'm excited to see where it goes!
5 of 142 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The overall aesthetic of the game is super noiry and fun, the characters are all grizzled toughs with tragic backstories, the music is atmospheric, the voice acting is campy in all the right ways, it's fun.
