Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
79 of 293 sampled reviews raised it
The game has fairly simple and intuitive combat mechanics and kiting is essential to survive.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
25 of 293 sampled reviews raised it
It is utterly amazing, and dovetails perfectly with game play as the difficulty slowly ramps up.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
21 of 293 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics: most seem to fit the game's style perfectly, but content is still being added, and some sprites branch further from the original style than others
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 293 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack deserves an honourable mention as it dynamically increases in intensity together with the game's threat level, which means the tempo gets higher as the screen gets flooded with more and more monsters.
