Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
35 of 126 sampled reviews raised it
I’m only 4 characters unlocked out of the game’s current roster of 7 and already I can see the great replayability.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
10 of 126 sampled reviews raised it
I find this a great "wind down after work" kind of game, I love trying to boost the weapons beyond their means to see what limitations there are in place (some weapons can get CRAZY powerful!) and when you start increasing the Gambit level (difficulty modifiers) you can get a pretty chaotic game going.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
9 of 126 sampled reviews raised it
You’re gonna encounter a lot of different weapons all very distinct from one another and all seemingly very scalable to crazy entertaining limits.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
7 of 126 sampled reviews raised it
Character variety adds another layer of depth, with each playable unit offering a distinct approach to the grid.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
5 of 126 sampled reviews raised it
Probably already mentioned in every second Review but the inclusion of chess works and even compared to other games that have more build variety or better graphics i like this one most of the time a bit more
