Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
When each season is resolved, win or lose, you'll gain gold that allows you to purchase cards to expand your deck, you'll also complete "quests" (or achievements) that unlock new bonuses such as persistent upgrades that apply to -everything-, or unlock entire new characters or companions, this keeps you coming back even if you lose, because no matter what, you're always generally unlocking something, or working towards something.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Good sound design and solid, if somewhat silly voice acting ensure that you'll always be suitably entertained, and whilst the graphics aren't going to blow you away, on a good rig they're decently pretty and they run at a smooth rate.

Controller Support | I don't play with my controller very often, but this seemed like a good game to try playing it with my Steam Controller.
