Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Visually, the game adopts a clean pixel-art style that effectively conveys its dark, industrial setting.
9 of 48 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
There are some features missing, too, which I hope will be forthcoming, as the addition of them would dramatically increase playability (and replayability): a bestiary, unique items, and unique creatures.
8 of 48 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
4) Story is pretty basic, can be improved further with more events or additional lore/backstory added.
5 of 48 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
The rest of the game is great fun and a super tough challenge (at least for me).
4 of 48 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Audio design is similarly restrained, relying on ambient effects rather than a prominent soundtrack.
