Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
SELLING POINT: I love this game because it's the only 1st person, 3d, coop, dungeon crawler/roguelike that I know of. 1st person and 3d are rare in this genre, and it's even more rare that there's cooperative play without forced PVP.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
GRAPHICS: The graphics are fine to me- I'd much rather have pixel/subpar graphics and good performance than any Unreal Engine 5 slop with terrible optimization rolling out these days.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The Gnome Mines are a very dangerous optional area you can usually go to (in very rare cases it may not spawn), but a successful visit will net you some very powerful Lightning Staves, plenty of Gold, and a great helmet for magic characters.
