Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It's got a good variety of characters to interact with, unique items to find and because the gameplay just has you rushing along, it means you really do have to make use of the most of the stuff you find.

One-way Heroics offers some of the dumbest, funniest, and rediculous gameplay I have ever seen from a rouge-like game.
