Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

decent pixel graphics, music provided by kevin macleod. separate volumes, zen and pro difficulty and a colorblind toggle are the only settings, with only volumes and thin/wide available while playing. there's a how to play section, a monster library (just icons of encountered ones, no names or info), a stats screen and some non-rebindable hotkeys.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I like how they did put in some effort into character customization, upgrades and consumables to somewhat 'strategize' your plan of attack.
