Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
16 of 65 sampled reviews raised it
The catacombs feature five different areas, which you can tackle in any order you like on normal difficulty, but all are as challenging as each other.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 65 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are bright and, at times, feel more inspired by Atari than Nintendo (I love the jumping spider...ish...y looking thing) and the music is bass heavy and interesting enough to keep me from turning it off, as I usually do.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
7 of 65 sampled reviews raised it
The controls are responsive and immediate (at least when using the keyboard, as I've not yet tried a gamepad).
