Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It’s possible to complete within a couple of hours, but there are leaderboards for the main story, daily challenges, and a couple of separate dungeons, so there is some replay value afterwards, although more achievements would have been welcomed.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Another thing that I did enjoy is the art style, it really looks like a dungeon crawler but in a good way.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The art is adorable, the gameplay is super fun and, most importantly, it is a pinball game.
