Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
77 of 247 sampled reviews raised it
You can have tight character pool so long as the variety of tools a character is given to approach the challenging mechanics is wide enough.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
19 of 247 sampled reviews raised it
The art direction is impeccable, both the character design, their movements and poses, the gibberish they speak - all of it adds up into an outstanding and incredible style that makes me grin every time Chopper ruffles his slicked up hair when he loses an MP or when Rotilda bites her decaying fingers while the vote is tallied.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
18 of 247 sampled reviews raised it
Characters are very expressive, animation is well done, there is enough flash to activate neurons, and if you take the time to read the story you are presented with, its whimsical.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
13 of 247 sampled reviews raised it
The writing is hilarious, the gameplay is unique, and the art style is phenomenal.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 247 sampled reviews raised it
In terms of art, flavor, and soundtrack, this game is a home-run.
