Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
13 of 99 sampled reviews raised it
The music, voice acting, story and enemy design all serve the old school dungeon crawl well; gritty medieval fantasy with a pinch of horror.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
10 of 99 sampled reviews raised it
There's the obvious... roll dice, use dice, kill monster, move on, but hidden in there is a depth that found me hunting crits, applying layered reasoning to the dice I choose to upgrade (or sabotage) and once some of the more permanent upgrades started unlocking, we found some interesting new ways to approach the combat.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 99 sampled reviews raised it
It picks a tone and nails it, and even has appropriate English-language voice acting.
