Gameplay

Still, when all’s said and done, the excellent storytelling and deeply rewarding gameplay overpower the hiccups.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
99 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat system is a turned based RPG style combat system ripped straight from A Legionary's Life with a lot of fun improvements.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
97 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But what it makes up for with a slight drop in quality, it makes up for with its branching storylines, that diverge MASSIVELY and the game's story being MUCH, MUCH longer with multiple endings.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
81 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's the way HWR difficulty and the leveling of your profile goes so well with progressing through the different obstacles in and out of combat.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This is very nice, as depending on how your character develops run-by-run, some story routes may be more accessible / suitable for your character.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are hand-drawn and stylized, giving the game a gritty aesthetic that supports its tone.
