Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The replayability is absolutely ridiculous with the amount of builds you can create, the amount of ways you can break the game (in a fun way) and now with the new duos mode/whole new set of items you can have so much fun with friends.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The rounds are short, the games can be quite long (30 mins-ish) but a lot of your time is eaten between rounds looking at shop and pondering your various orbs as to what the next best move is in regards to your limited inventory slot.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
A repeated lesson in humility and learning disguised as a Dopamine dispensing (async) PvP shopping spree, spanning over how ever many hours you feel like playing and/or investing into learning its systems.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Updated graphics on early access release look great and I'm a fan of the ranked / casual options.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Comparing this to the bazaar for example there it feels like you have much more distinct build paths through item sets (characters) with some quite more complex decision choices and opportunities to shape your build path.
