Story isn't exactly a masterpiece, but it is good enough, especially for gameplay heavy game, and has some nice moments.

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
The spellcraft (you get to make your own cards and what they do) is really simple but somewhat in depth, the combat is pretty fun too, also simple but gives you room to think especially with its use of status effects.
