If Striving for Light was an ARPG, I would find it annoying, but the randomness works well for a roguelike trying to encourage the player to use different skill builds on each run.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
34 of 138 sampled reviews raised it
It’s not the most complex system ever designed, but it adds a tactical flair to the combat, at least early on.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

As for the game, the art style is a drawn world and characters and refreshingly different to a lot of other indie games.
