Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
As for the gameplay itself, it's definitely "easy to learn, hard to master" - there are two buttons for movement, forwards and backwards.
17 of 104 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The visuals are beautiful, how some parts of the maps are animated, and some other are in a front layer, not all in the background, it really looks like a "living painting" with the warriors fighting.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack is wonderful, I think it suits every map so good (each map has its own), but things to be said, the menu song, despite being relaxing, can become repetitive to some, because it's a short simple melody, and if you have a long wait for an online match, you have to listen to it until you find a player (if you have music activated in the options)
