Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
61 of 139 sampled reviews raised it
Initially, I very much aware that this might be a game that needs more time in the oven but it looked pretty promising due to the gameplay and amazing art style.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
51 of 139 sampled reviews raised it
Great artwork and a great story-line are tainted with absent-minded and randomized game-play mechanics, and unbalanced tactics style combat.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
20 of 139 sampled reviews raised it
The hand-drawn art style represents the dark and grim world extremely well, everything is drawn out with dull colours to make you feel like this world is dying and getting overrun by these beasts.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 139 sampled reviews raised it
It just creates a very tense atmosphere and the soundtrack is quite fitting.
