The game itself is fun and engaging but its the art style and creativity of the characters and the lil cute bug facts that make me love this game.
Combat

6 of 241 sampled reviews raised it
It seriously shows that the developers were very passionate about matching the design to their insectoid inspirations; great care was taken to preserve the unique aspects of any given bug, carefully avoiding excessive anthropomorphism while adapting them into bipedal forms that can wield weapons.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
6 of 241 sampled reviews raised it
The models are also surprisingly dynamic, pointing their attacks in the actual angle the enemy is in, and you can even jiggle them about a little if you grab them in the inventory menu.
