Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
124 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Though I have not yet played cult of holy detonation, I plan to, Steeltown is definitely great narrative-wise, I think the complaints about the combat are slightly overblown.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
110 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Character progression is deep, allowing for distinct squad roles across weapons, tech skills, and quirks.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
99 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you enjoy squad customization and meaningful narrative choices, it's definitely worth buying - especially with the DLC expansions, which add solid storylines and unique mechanics.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It very much does, with said music, the ambient sounds, and most of the voice acting done very well as well.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Most other things - the combat, the graphics, the build variety are all good and would have been really enjoyable if the horrible RPG part wasn't dragging the whole experience down so much.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As for the base game, it’s a full campaign co-op, which is a major perk for me, and I really like the character customization elements.
