Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
16 of 45 sampled reviews raised it
This game has all of the elements that make retro gaming so much fun, it has very fully integrated puzzles that are not like the dumbed down ones that you will find in modern games, as well as, bosses that are scaled to be a challenge with the almost bullet hell esc-gameplay.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
8 of 45 sampled reviews raised it
This game is a solid First game and has a good story that is very open to expansion.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
8 of 45 sampled reviews raised it
At first the use of one or the other is scripted but it doesn't take long before they can be changed at will, opening up many possibilities further extended by upgrades, special weapons and accessories.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
4 of 45 sampled reviews raised it
Sure, I like pretty graphics and good art design like everyone else, but there was something special about that time, when something that looked like it was made by one guy (who obviously didn't go to art school) in the corner of his bedroom after work could get some serious play.
