Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
99 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I saw what they pulled, the game in itself is great, and the co-op is fun.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game looks good, has a very interesting concept, and the graphics are nice as well as for musics and menu.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The roster of spells available to you, both starting and unlockable, are fun and enjoyable, albeit with some very similar spells but also some very distinct spells, so you have spells like Astral Orbs and Magic Missile (which on the surface, are the same except one is slower and pierces), but the Devs did a good job making the upgrades and augments help them feel more distinct in the later game.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
To compare to other games in this genre, DRG:Survivors has mastery for all dwarves and weapons, giving you something to grind for but it makes a difference and feels worth it.
Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Great matchmaking across distant regions with balanced co-op, making it the perfect rogue-like to play with friends, casual or seriously.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controller had full support, but will require key rebinded to be one handed.
