Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I do admit it's a bit story heavy (would've been better to play the plane battle rather than watch in the beginning since the 1st dungeon is about an hour into the game), but it's definitely worth a try.

Graphics

The dungeon design is pretty fun for what it's worth, and the graphics are pleasant

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
I played for a few minutes with mouse + keyboard, but wasn't really feelin' it, so I switched to a Steam controller, and that mostly worked very well.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Furthermore, since food is valuable, I often found my self entering the pause menu to carefully consider each time I had to heal, which is yet another design element that kills game flow.
