Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
144 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
+While the story is the standard epic save the world (in this case, forest) fiasco, the tone is pretty cool, maintaining a nice balance between humor and dark themes (kind of like the first Divinity Original Sin)
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
136 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The objective system, giving out additional, meaningful rewards for each task completed, is interesting and makes completing missions more than once (if needed) more meaningful than just "grinding".
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
100 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A fun tactics game with a good difficulty curve and without any RNG.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
85 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Featuring deep strategic combat, substantial challenge level, and interesting lore, this is definitely a solid game for the genre: let's see why.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Druidstone sports really nice graphics, even if not top quality for 2019, they do the job really well overall, especially animations are of high quality and effects are quite good.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Perhaps the smaller cast of playable characters is what makes it feel more this way for some people, but those individual characters have way more depth than a typical character on a board in other games.
