Vambrace has many things going for it: gorgeous art, great story, a hot main character (both in and out, which is an unbelievable achievement in my opinion), an addictive gameplay loop and an atmosphere that is oozing with style.

+Yeah, the character design (waifu central!) and artwork (incredible backgrounds, foregrounds, and lighting) throughout the game are top-notch.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 291 sampled reviews raised it
The OST for the game fits it very well, but it seems there were some interesting mixing choices as some songs are odd.

Players who bring up Linux compatibility mostly praise it.
4 of 291 sampled reviews raised it
No bugs on my side, none of them on windows and none on Arch Linux (maybe some UI glitches).
