Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
This game is well put together and tells an engaging story, but I think the price point is a little high for what it is.

+ The visuals - art, music, sound effects, character designs - are all very nice.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
For $5 more for DD you get 5x the game length, some voice acting and more sound effects, a more in-depth and satisfying gameplay loop (though it is combat, so not for everyone), and more character templates that you also have more control over.
