The boss fights feel great so far, once you figure out some of the combinations with the weapons and the skill tree along with the artifacts the combat feels amazing.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

From what I've played of DID so far, it's been tough, fun, slightly repetitive, a little bit too much text to read, simple but rewarding combat, tough boss fights, but always lots to like and enjoy, sadly this won't be for everyone, especially due to its difficulty and repetitive nature of die and start again, but to be fair this is what roguelikes are all about.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.

Lovely pixel art and just enough variety between the 3 playable characters to make this great fun.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
16 of 246 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics and animations are very fluid for the fidelity they're going for.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.

I’m not saying it’s perfect and it needs work but it is early access and I am enjoying playing it (I have an extra 4-5 hours probably not displayed because of playing steam deck offline), and can’t wait for it to continue to develop and to play more
