Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
55 of 146 sampled reviews raised it
The roguelike genre often struggles with a boring and samey early game, which feels less the case for this game due the divergent playstyles encouraged by leaders and their starting equipment.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
46 of 146 sampled reviews raised it
The orange flame is Ki, which is used to power especially strong Ki weapons that can cause crazy effects such as negating damage or dealing a lot of damage in an area.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
24 of 146 sampled reviews raised it
I have found this to be a challenging and fun game with an immersive sense of story and aesthetics.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
21 of 146 sampled reviews raised it

9 of 146 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack provides sufficient gravity to battles and a more contemplative, soothing atmosphere for maps.
