Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The setting is outrageous and well realised; the plot is silly, but enjoyable; the characters poke fun at the plot and each other on occasion; and the whole thing mostly just works.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Graphics - The graphics are for the most part very nice, and portray the unique setting fabulously.
15 of 51 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay - Megamagic plays a bit like an 80s-themed Diablo, but with quite poor controls and an interface that doesn't quite work sometimes.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
This visual flair is reinforced by an energetic synthwave soundtrack that perfectly complements the setting, lending the game a pulsating rhythm that carries through exploration and combat alike.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
Grims are generally controlled automatically by the AI (or to my surprised, by your friends too via local co-op!)
