Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game itself is fun, I think it has a good learning curve and a good mix of roles, even if the graphics look like an old Final Fantasy game.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This is compounded by the fact that, while the role description cards do help somewhat and the scripted tutorial does a good job of teaching the basic mechanics of the game, the only real way to learn is by playing matches.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I will say the number of classes and different abilities gets quite overwhelming for me in 16-player lobbies.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is impressive, the animations can be funny and creative, and the roles (or "classes" as you're forced to call them) can be very interesting.
