Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Fantasy Strike offers a roster of vibrant and memorable characters from Sirlin's already-existing fantasy world, ranging from an enlightened fish monster to a man who could perhaps be summed up as Phoenix Wright if he were a character in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, complete with lady justice as a stand.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I think one thing that is important for a beginning player is a ladder of simple challenges that slowly ramp up in difficulty, a solid difficulty curve is a key to getting better at the game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Accessibility
Players who bring up Accessibility mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
