Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The customization of characters is pretty detailed and varied, and while it's nothing on the scale of Guild Wars 2 or MMO level of customization you're unlikely to find another player that will look exactly like you.
112 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
First up, the core gameplay loop on this is incredibly fun and addictive.
75 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Game systems wise, graphics are passable but optimization isn't great.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The game captures the teenage anime melodrama very well, there's generous voice acting and pre-rendered cutscenes throughout, and you get to be a self-insert Mary Sue earning praise from the main cast.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
In online mode there are no slow motion effects (which devs could easily add to single player, but again, not happening), but to compensate for that, the co-op system is pretty bad, if you decide to play this with a friend, you will have to beat the game twice, all missions, no exception, because only the host gets progress credit, so everytime you beat a new mission, you 2 will now be in a different mission, so you can't join each other, therefore if you wanna do mission X co-op, you'll have to do this: player 1 hosts, player 2 joins, player 1 gets credit and advances to mission Y, now player 2 hosts, player 1 joins, player 2 gets credit and advances to mission Y.
