Level design offer a good variety and although the cyber vibe can be felt throughout the game, the levels quickly become memorable, and original in their aesthetical presentation, offering good challenges and avoiding generic or consensual repetitive gameplay.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
12 of 49 sampled reviews raised it
Damsel is a well presented comic book style driven plot, where at each new mission, a page or two works as a cutscene, depicting conversations, events and other important references.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 49 sampled reviews raised it
The art style of the game is pretty colourful and you recognize the enemies and environmental traps easily.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
8 of 49 sampled reviews raised it
Hitboxes are well defined and there has been quite the positive improvements over since the early access phase.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 49 sampled reviews raised it
The game touts itself as being fast paced (unless you are QTE'ing or accidentally shooting scenery), arcadey (except when its constantly not), single player game (yes), set in a cartoon world (that I know nothing about), with a pumping synth soundtrack (the music is rad as heck).
