Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 118 sampled reviews raised it
Character models are PSX-tier on the highest graphics settings, town exploration bits are 2.5D (meaning you walk left/right against a 3D background of boxy fantasy buildings), camera perspective is nausea-inducing.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
3 of 118 sampled reviews raised it
Perfectly playable, and downright gorgeous, on an OLED Steam Deck, and pretty much where the game shines.
