Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With its Victorian-industrial setting, intricate systems, and richly layered gameplay, Gremlins, Inc. offers a refreshing alternative to traditional board and card games, especially for players who enjoy scheming as much as strategizing.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, the gameplay itself will be fun for playing with friends since it's very "mario party"-esque in it's mechanics of winning by throwing obstacles in the way of other players.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer though is where it's at and the fact that the developers have chosen to only allow use emotes and preset quotes for communication is a definite bonus.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are really well done and the music/background sounds really help add to the atmosphere of the game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack adds to this mood with an ominous yet playful tone that underscores the constant scheming.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I thought it was fairly easy to understand how to play this one, as far as movement, what means what on screen UI layout, and the tutorials are pretty straight to the point, and were not too difficult to get acquainted with once I got started on my own.
