Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I call it the Roszak Paradox, I came across this franchise back in the good old days of Kongregate Flash games with "Adventure Stroy" (the best game of the franchise in my humble opinion) and I always ignored the pop-up add with Mighty Oak telling me to play this game, Now I don't know if I regret not playing it back then or if I'm grateful I got to experience playing the series in chronological order thanks to the Steam release of EBF collection (which includes EBF1 and 2, Adventure story, Bullet Heaven 1 and some other cool games).
