Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
159 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
TLDR: the game has a very fun gameplay offset by a bit of an odd balancing (at least on hard), low enemy variety and a quite shallow but serviceable main story.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
119 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
An amazing indie deck builder that has some things I really wish other deck builders had, as well as a nice, if a bit repetitive, story.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Note: I recommend Hard/Hardcore mode if you want a fair, but tough difficulty.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I was a bit unsure when I saw it had a card based combat system along with the standard tactical grid, but it's a perfect combo.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Different equip and deck options allow you to have several different play-styles with each playable character.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art is pixel graphics which was kinda the main reason i even bought the game as it reminds me of the gba style of games the ui and menus are simple and easy to understand and the characters themselves are well developed in their chapters and have their own distinct personality
