Gameplay

In wonder labyrinth i had to at least try, which made me really like the bosses (also once again that dual element system was so fun during those fights because they used the swap mechanic brilliantly).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
159 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What i really liked this time around was how coherent the world of blade chimera felt especially due to its bigger focus on narrative.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
132 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Well personally i like wonder labyrinth more because i like fantasy over scifi and found the combat to be more fun but blade chimera does other things better to create a game that's as much worth playing as wonder labyrinth is.
Graphics

While it impresses with its sharp combat and breathtaking visuals, some design choices leave it feeling like it didn’t quite reach its full potential."
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's not voice acted though but it doesn't have to be as it has fun retro styled portraits and sound effects.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The main character especially was very enjoyable despite being a very lawfull good character, well maybe not THAT lawfull but you get what i'm saying.
