Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
98 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are good and stylized, the music is nice, and I don't have any complaints about gameplay and balancing.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
73 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This beautiful backdrop of a story is told in the thirteen campaign missions and the story cards Kallas will slowly unlock along his adventurer through the dealer's dungeon.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That you can only see his eyes means his countenance never gives too much away, and Anthony Skordi’s brilliant voice acting brings as much to the character as it needs to – clearly invested in what he’s doing, but no overblown dramatics.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game is beautifully presented; the graphics are nothing special for the time but the theme and the atmosphere create a fantastic and slightly unnerving experience.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Aesthetically pleasing, polished game (except some Dealer animations lacking dialogue) that has somewhat of a controller support, and runs on SteamDeck.
