Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
26 of 55 sampled reviews raised it
When it comes to replayability, something most people expect a lot from with roguelites, I think many people could be surprised in a negative sense.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
24 of 55 sampled reviews raised it
The game has satisfying combat that blends a mix of melee fighting and spellcasting with (if you prefer) movement abilities that gives you a very good amount of control and opportunity to take on enemies.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
18 of 55 sampled reviews raised it
It’s easy to pick up the game and play a round, trying to get far, but again the difficulty curve makes it really challenging as each level gets harder and harder with new enemies you need to learn.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 55 sampled reviews raised it
The art style and animations on the characters is very nice but the backgrounds seem very minimal and plain aside from the hub area.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 55 sampled reviews raised it
It has one of the best chip tune soundtracks I've heard in years to the point where I decided to buy the soundtrack after about 5 minutes of gameplay.
