Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Deadstone, a classic 2D top down shooter where you defend a base against a parasitic incursion, campaign is a bit long but the story is interesting enough to slog through.
35 of 58 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The writing is solid, the voice acting in the intro is also solid.
7 of 58 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
Can only imagine how much fun the local coop is, but sadly I have not had the opportunity to test it yet.
5 of 58 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
The excellent flow of gameplay, strategic planning before the action in each mission, the interesting story and dialogue, and the abundant choices in gear/upgrades and options for difficulty (& even choice of which story: serious or tongue in cheek!)
