The premise itself is standard, but there is enough depth to the ways one can create their own character builds that make each new game exciting.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
75 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is easy to learn and get into so starting fresh never feels like too much of a drag.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

This is the most striking aspect of SB, as it uses keyboard symbols as the basis for all the game's visuals, which is called ASCII art.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The screenshots give a good idea of what this game looks like (though, there are some very nice pieces of art that one gets to view as they progress through the story).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It sounds more refined than old-school beeps and boops, but it still makes use of simple sound effects in order to compose the numerous songs from the game.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For those who prefer something of the old flavor, however, they'll find hours and hours of joy in this game, with its gear crafting, development, combat depth, character customization, and more.
