Gameplay

Between unlocking all the gods' starting abilities, the customized difficulty, and the random resource placement, it has very good replayability, within limit.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
75 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The lore is unique for me, and I even loved that one person seemed to do all the voices for the characters and monsters, with varying success.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall though, the combat system is interesting enough that I still enjoy learning and perfecting the tactics for fighting different enemies: what to do when they have piercing, bludgeoning, high defense, high magic, etc.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I love customizing the difficulty and trying to beat my own score.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Performance with the default graphics configuration is considered suitable, and the game can run successfully on SteamOS.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With it's storytelling (masterfully voiced by a narrator - who does all the voice acting in the game), as well as gorgeous art and music, the game masterfully evokes a dark and melancholy fantasy atmosphere - there are many events to explore - while there were many repeats, I found something new in every one of my playthroughs.
