Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
91 of 246 sampled reviews raised it
All in all this is a fun side scrolling hacknslash and a lot better than most of the writing/gameplay coming out of modern games.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
61 of 246 sampled reviews raised it
The story is much more fleshed out and compelling with different characters, races, and unique locations to it than the first game had.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
52 of 246 sampled reviews raised it
The combat has lots of new tricks to it like ranged combat in the form of throwing spears or heavy weapons at enemies, then an ability to make them return when a button is pressed.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
18 of 246 sampled reviews raised it
With RoR: Runegate, the end results showed how much effort and time the devs took to put into it: The pixel graphics are retained but made in even more beautiful detail.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 246 sampled reviews raised it
A good amount of love has been given in the making of the soundtrack, influenced by contemporary folk bands I follow such as Wardruna and Heilung.
