Gameplay

25 of 77 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is good, the music is fine (not bad, but rarely memorable), and there are a few interesting game design choices here that are sometimes clever and sometimes curiously stupid.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
23 of 77 sampled reviews raised it
Weapons are generated with various traits, elemental effects, and modifiers that can interact in unexpected ways, forming powerful synergies when paired correctly.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
13 of 77 sampled reviews raised it
There's a wide variety of enemies to fight with a lot of behaviors, and I think the developers stuck a very good balance in terms of difficulty.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 77 sampled reviews raised it
It has a cute anime art style that is too detailed for 4th-gen (16-bit) but too simple for 5th-gen.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 77 sampled reviews raised it
Audio feedback is solid and got a nice soundtrack which never gets old (at least for me).
