Gameplay

I will re-iterate that the game is excellent, with a fun and unique mechanic for performing attacks, which works very smoothly all things considered, great art direction, fun character interactions and many difficulty options.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Outside of killing lots of monsters, the game presents a charming artstyle and a cute, little story featuring all the playable characters and a few NPCs.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is solid as well, although on release many voice lines didn't match up with the text for some reason.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is so neatly hand drawn and mystical, and full of little animations and menus that are smooth.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I can't wait to unlock all the characters and parts of the story, I feel like the skill ceiling in this is very high but very approachable even as a beginner which I'm excited about :)
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It feels good to play, hitboxes are good and drawing spells frantically has me engaged in a way other games of this genre just don't do.
