For some, this may be a grind but it never felt like that to me.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
29 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
I love the throwback and horror vibes it has going and the bit of lore to the characters is quite interesting.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
22 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
The run sizes are very nice for a single sitting (about an hour and 20 minutes on average for a full run I found) and the difficulty is balanced well in that it can be a little tricky at times, but totally beatable even on your first run.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is REALLY well done, and there are a number of absolute banger battle themes that I find myself constantly surprised by how awesome they are every time they come up (particularly "Lunch Break Dance Battle" and "Grad Night").
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics and Sound track do a good job of relaying the atmosphere.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
11 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is fun but it feels like it needs a little more depth, or even just longer runs or more combat, maybe it just needs more overall but its a good time sink for a bit hopfully they offer some more content to it (like more enemies) to keep it fresh.
