Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
9 of 48 sampled reviews raised it
While the graphics are functional rather than flashy, the three-dimensional environments improve spatial awareness and immersion, making the Pit feel more like a real, hostile place rather than a series of abstract rooms.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
6 of 48 sampled reviews raised it
This game feels quite decent now, with only some elements of handholding there are to ensure that information can be properly conveyed, so I'm glad it's not straying too far from the decently-tough difficulty the original game thrived on.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
3 of 48 sampled reviews raised it
With familiar selectable classes, 20x floors to explore and scavenge for a large selection of weapons and inventory.
