Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The way I picked up most game mechanics as I went through my first run is really a testament to someone on the development team having some kind of skill as an educator or some other such magic.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
maybe too late to add, but I really think a classic RPG interface with visual slots for weapons and so on would add so much to the game and let people instantly connect to it. (look at 'Caves of Qud' which just released last year and has an insanely well done UI for this now, even for characters with 4 arms or nearby floatables)
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is no orchestral soundtrack or voice acting, but the audio design works precisely because of its restraint.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The interface can be frustrating at time vs how it work in other games but overall it is well built and the graphics are satisfactory for the type of game!
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Likewise, playing a leader-type character and recruiting multiple NPCs felt so easy that I could not believe the difference.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is charming, and the visual clarity is genuinely impressive.
