As of writing this review I just wrapped up with my first playthrough, and loved every second of it.
206 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
In addition to the visuals, the soundtrack is a nice accompaniment, but what stands out most about the sound is that the title features voice acting almost entirely, and I must say that the actors did an exquisite job.

I see myself included in the first ones, and it was thanks to having experimented with its gameplay that Lil' Guardsman caught my attention when I was recommended its demo, which was a nice surprise.
