Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
43 of 124 sampled reviews raised it
The key design element that makes this game more than a simple combat engine - which otherwise would absolutely devolve into an endless series of boring fights - is the intelligent way the developers introduce and combine different enemy types.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
33 of 124 sampled reviews raised it
Story is sparse, graphics aren't the best (though the art direction is good given what they're working with).
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
32 of 124 sampled reviews raised it
Although it depends on your skill level, considering a 3-5 hour play session, the gameplay dynamics and variety available are far from lacking :)
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 124 sampled reviews raised it
The music accompanies it well enough and though it's not the most memorable soundtrack, it has a really nice techno feeling to enhance the ambiance.
