Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Leveling up in this game is different too; in Arena you had the standard gain XP and level up when you hit a certain threshold, whereas this game uses skill progression to determine when you level up.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
There is actual variety to quests (main and random), custom classes are a lot more freeing than premade ones, the presence of factions opens up a ton of chances for one run to be different than another, and the improved graphics are amazing to behold while still having old school charm.
