Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Probably not, but it nails the Darkest Dungeon art style and creates a fun TRPG gameplay with a decent amount of skills, items, momentum, scroll effects, and instanced dungeons with rogue like elements.

Regardless, I quite enjoyed my 10 hours here :) the sound effects were really satisfying on crits and certain passives.
