Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Love the bright and vibrant colours as well as the art style, but not a fan of the chibi look the characters have

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
This is not a game to play alone (funny is it that requires internet connection) but the real meaning of this is that even playing alone would make the experience very boring, since you are able to play in co-op mode you will have people that eventually will heal you and play by your side, a great game to play with friends or make new ones and not so recommended if you are someone who likes to play alone or don't like games where repetitive deaths are an option.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The music is also amazing, the music keeps you hyped and going, sound effects are also good, and the little voice acting that you hear in game is also very good .
