Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Before you go in know that it has rough edges. [edit/added after playing further] Chief among them is that (in campaign) some of the levels are ATROCIOUSLY long.
71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The game loop is single-instance procedural dungeons - go down a level and accomplish some task (lasting a certain number of waves, getting some resource, etc.).
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
Only played for about 12 hours (90% of that co-op) but can say that there's a lot of interesting ideas here.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
A proper multiplayer mode for this game would make it fantastic, and I am sure boost the popularity of it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The game has a native linux client that runs well on Linux Mint 20.3 with AMD RX 6600 graphics.

Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
I'm playing it on Steam Deck and the experienced is good (aside from UI/text being a bit tiny - still readable, but I expect some upscaling options to be added in future updates).
