Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I understand alot of roguelike/roguelite games enjoy using proceedural generation to create the illusion of variance and replayability, and sometimes it works really well, alot of games like this are designed intelligently, but Loot Rascals falls short of being playable roughly 50% of the time.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Great art direction, clever writing for the funny genie man, decent music, but some really cool core mechanics of the game.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
There’s a whimsical air surrounding Loot Rascals, with its nonsensical plot, goofy, exaggerated cartoon art style and vibrant pastel colour scheme, but that makes it no less viciously homicidal.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The voice acting and music are just as great.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
A really neat game, but seems super buggy so far - I could place a snail on my screen and it would move faster than my character after opening the HUD...

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
I played with a controller but mouse/keyboard would be fine as there is no time restriction, you can play at your own pace.
