10 of 121 sampled reviews raised it
In all I'd say grab this game - it's a solid-buy for its price (a definite at a discount) and the Gauntlet vibes, graphics, layout, music and co-op (local via gamepad) make for a nice slog-fest.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 121 sampled reviews raised it
More interestingly, shop upgrades are connected not only to greater rewards but also to increased difficulty.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
6 of 121 sampled reviews raised it
All heroes attacks also looks good and are unique for each hero thus showing the amount of work that was put into pixel graphics to represents these attacks and each hero own identity.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
4 of 121 sampled reviews raised it
The level layouts also feature multiple possible routes, adding meaningful navigation decisions to the combat.
