Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
185 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This is amusing and the right move, as it guarantees progression in the long run and makes previous runs substantial.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
92 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story was nice and I had fun reading it while finding the upgrades that unlock it as flavor text.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
85 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The red, white, and black visuals are striking and give the art an edge, but I believe it was held back by the lack of diversity in the surroundings.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
80 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A well balanced turn based tactics that doesn't bog you down with a new weapons, different armor, with incrementally bigger numbers after every encounter.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Boasting an impressive soundtrack, a more forgiving-than-usual roguelike nature, and intelligent management units, this hidden gem needs more attention.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I enjoyed them as they made my trip to the boss of the stage, felt more tactical, and planned a specific roster with the right skills.
