Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
105 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay is pretty easy to pickup but gets pretty fun with all of the different party members, bosses, and items, this game is about to get another small expansion and gets little tweaks time to time, so the replayability is pretty high.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
77 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I liked the story even though it's kind of short and you have to piece it together in your brain a little bit, it's somewhat obvious but I feel like it could just seem like nothing to some people if you're not trying to read between the lines.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A unique battle system, real strategy, interesting items and movesets, and dozens of party members all combined to make some of the most memorable combat from a turn-based game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Obviously the highlight of this game is the artstyle and music, I like how a lot of enemies will change the soundtrack depending on if they've activated their form, and the bosses having little cutscenes for their signature moves is super cool and adds a lot of eyecandy to the game and a bit of curiosity.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Maceo's art style is so distinct you can tell he's the artist of a game just by looking at it.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The growing roster of recruitable companions further expands the game's strategic depth, as each character brings specialized abilities that can dramatically alter how a battle unfolds.
