Combat is simple but effective: relying on basic mechanics being used in different ways, such as knocking back an enemy in to a wall, or running an enemy into a trap.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
7 of 71 sampled reviews raised it
And the ability to change items/weapons/armors at will once you get them, creates an amazing utility that doesn't exist anywhere else.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
6 of 71 sampled reviews raised it
First, the graphics are wonderfully stylized, and I thought the use of pictograms explaining how everything works was really clever given the theme.
