Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Yet, a vicious Narrator stands in your way; not only that he humorously describes your whole journey, but he also actively influences both the story and gameplay, which can bring sudden unexpected twists.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The Last Hero of Nostalgaia constantly fiddles with its visual presentation, mixing both two and three-dimensional environments that are portrayed by modern, charming visuals as well as by intentionally dated 8-bit ones; even enemies abide by such changes.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
* I played the game in coop with a friend (Coop is built in to the game and works out of the box without major issues)

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
- Not really much of a sound-track (I fixed this by playing the Crypt of the NecroDancer soundtrack in the background)
