Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The deep story crafted by Jeff Vogel using party RPG turn based mechanics is a favorite of mine, but not for everyone.
132 of 268 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Graphics are fine for what the game is, it is not supposed to compete graphically with AAA studios that spend much of their Dev effort designing highly optimized, detailed 3D graphics that most players just turn down anyways.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The game is surprisingly in-depth and it's not kidding when it says it can offer 50 hours and more of gameplay - I'm currently at the 12-hour mark and I have yet to remove the magical barrier.
