Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
An additional improvement i would suggest is better rewards for clearing a dungeon. there is literally no reason to go all the way through a dungeon ever except for the one recipe relate quest and maybe achievements (not sure why your hunting those on a casual game but you do you).

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
i love shop management games and the dungeon aspect adds a nice bit of spice that keeps it interesting for me, and the art style is AMAZING - super freaking cute and well-done.

* A great soundtrack that goes along with the game's ambiance.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
I feel like some of these things should've been caught in QC and play testing, or maybe it's because the game was optimised for keyboard & mouse instead of a controller.
