40 of 144 sampled reviews raised it
Genuinely had an absolute blast playing this and was pleasantly surprised at the price point of the game, the visuals and music alone made it worthwhile and the replayability felt solid after figuring out which options provided more die for the end phase etc.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
23 of 144 sampled reviews raised it
Add to that the fantastic soundtrack and amazing, almost comic book-esque visuals which never stop offering a feast for the eyes, and what you get here is a truly unique and vibrant world that keeps on giving as you progress.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
21 of 144 sampled reviews raised it
The art and soundtrack are worth the price of admission alone, dragging you into the slick and moody atmosphere of Netherveil City.
