Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
115 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But Sir Kicksalot acheives something that few games do: it makes me want to get better and challenge myself to higher difficulties, and it is one of those really few games that makes me say "just one more try" or "what if I tried this and that" and well... there may be just a few levels but I guarantee you the replayability value is great and it's really worth the price tag.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
85 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's some replayability as well, since you can switch between combat, stealth, magic, environmental or unconventional kills at will.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.

Yeah, this is certainly what i wanted to play, Mechanics are very fun, combat is interesting, different ways to kill enemies, fun story and good levels design.
Difficulty

I love the atmosphere, the potential difficulty, the different builds possible, the graphical style, and the ridiculous dialogue.
Graphics

The Adventures of Sir Kicksalot is a extremely fun OG Dark Messiah clone with a very unique art style.
Bugs
Players who bring up Bugs mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
systems all seem pretty well implemented; i encountered zero game-breaking bugs and enjoyed my time with it. there's some nice variation in skills and playstyles. could do with some more care for the music but the vibes are solid
