Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
76 of 147 sampled reviews raised it
I found the story to be mature, holding nothing back during the war and hitting nuances I don’t see that often regarding choices, emotions, duty, and more.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

2D means you can have way higher quality pixel graphics, but it does mean you will lack map rotation. to make up for this we've incorporated transparency on all objects that might get in your way on the maps, visually. if you find there is an object visually disruptive to you in this demo please let us know and we can make it have transparency."
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
21 of 147 sampled reviews raised it
A good amount of class variety here being 12 different classes and all of them have multiple skill trees to specialize in.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
19 of 147 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is very pleasant to listen to, but I'd have liked to see more variation in the tunes especially in Chapter 1.
Crashes
Players who bring up Crashes mostly praise it.
4 of 147 sampled reviews raised it
All while delivering a bug-free (at least for me) and crash-free experience that doesn’t seek long hours to complete.
