Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
115 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Fan currency earned in runs goes toward renovating The Encore club, upgrades and a surprisingly satisfying meta-loop alongside the skill tree, Endless mode, and challenge runs.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
75 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you're fine with a compelling setup and extremely replayable combat, buy now.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
69 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But the story is quite interesting, a little bit unclear, but like i said, it's still in early access and they're going to expand it.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Voice acting is solid across the board, which matters more here than in most games because the story is told almost entirely in short cutscenes between combat stages.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics of the game look really nice 3D and 2D both, the animations are smooth and not jittery.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Easy to learn, but with enough depth that I can already see the skill ceiling being very high.
