Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
- From the caricaturistic player portraits, to the fantastically magical sound effects, to the ethereal dungeon lighting, to the cleverly farcical writing, the overall presentation is top-notch, involving all visual and aural elements expertly in ways that enhance the experience while also creating artistic imaginativeness that results in a rare paradigm of the game medium.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I wanted to like the game, but I just don't because there's no progression if you aren't very skilled or lucky.

Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
Just a quick early review, the game runs flawlessly on Steam Deck, stable 60 FPS, uses a mix of sticks, dpad and touch.
