Throw in some RPG elements such as character progression through level-ups and the result is a very addictive game.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

I think the difficulty curve is perfect for me - you don't get roflstomped from your first playthrough, but there's a lot to learn before you are really progressing through to deeper levels.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
21 of 239 sampled reviews raised it
Beyond that, there are some nice unique weapons which interact with the powers of given creature abilities keeping things interesting.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The possession system is fun, the graphics are nice and cute and the music gives the game a playful atmosphere.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
18 of 239 sampled reviews raised it
There are some nice moments with dialogue but the game has stuck to its core style when it comes to overall design.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 239 sampled reviews raised it
I'm not usually one for roguelikes, but there are three things that keep me coming back to MidBoss time and again - a brilliant soundtrack, the unique possession mechanic, and seemingly always new tricks to learn.
