Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Fun and strategic combat where you really have to use skills, positioning and the environment, lots of traps and puzzles never let the exploration get boring despite the tilesets, and even an interesting story.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay creates the dynamics necessary for it to make it a very enjoyable experience and is definitely worth playing to understand how game mechancis and puzzles can create a good adventure dungueon crawler experience, that not many indie titles have been able to reach for a while.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
This isn't to say they have to spend money on better graphics, as I love the aesthetics presented, but maybe make a better world, maybe more open with more than one dungeon, that lets you visit the cities that are mentioned and face yourself the harsh world presented in the world, that is full of destruction and despair.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
I thought the lack of controller support would be a detriment, but I'm glad to say I didn't miss a controller at all with this game.

Interface

The game features an inventory and combat mechanics as well, again, helping you take a trip to a nostalgic past.
