-Dandara boasts a steep learning curve and a very unique movement experience that will likely turn off quite a few players unwilling to invest enough time into learning the basic mechanics.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
81 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is introduced slowly as you progress and never feels overbearing.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.

Difficulty is hard, highly recommend using a controller to play, and I beat it first time through in 15 hours taking my time (a chunk of that is on Tormenta, alone)
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
More energy lets you get more creative in combat and generally take less damage, but you will run out of energy eventually, or you can opt for more health and tank your way through various situations.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Beautiful pixel art – The visuals are fantastic, and I especially love the design of the main character.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
-Excellent soundtrack that shifts from soothing light-hearted melodies to action packed upbeat tempos that push the action forward.
