Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
16 of 43 sampled reviews raised it
If you like challenging combat, the unique atmosphere and confusing exploration, can handle a lot of frustration and especially don't expect it to be a clone of anything else then I think you should definitely give it a chance and download the demo.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

I always enjoy seeing creative game mechanics in this genre, but please, no more pot men, nor 12 fireball scorpion tail guys. ;-; I bet they're in cahoots with fireball jail.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
10 of 43 sampled reviews raised it
I personally love the level design, atmosphere and difficulty and I feel that this game is getting unfairly criticised, possibly for not being something it's not really trying to be.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
6 of 43 sampled reviews raised it
It really gives a special feel to the game, the combination of lighting and music is a big strength ofthe game.
Co-op

5 of 43 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer functionality adds another layer of interest, with co-op modes allowing groups of players to take on the game’s challenges together.
