Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
That said, the graphics are nice as can get for a free platformer and I thought the special weapons were well thought out.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The games ability to create great gameplay with three different combat styles makes the game all the more worth.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I do like other aspects of the game though, like the platforming feels nice, The two special weapons are cool and add a lot of variety on how to kill enemies (i really like the gauntlets), The boss battles where easy but good and fun to play, The story is interesting (more than good enough) and the characters seem to have potential (wasn't much dialogue so can't say for sure)
