I had a lot of fun while playing through it I just needed a bit more faith in my own abilities and believe that even I could get all the achievements in a challenging game like this since it wasn't only based on "get gut" but also a lot could be easier with just grinding levels, gear and feeding your pet.

It offers excellent replayability with its 10 bosses' unique fighting sequences and three levels of difficulty to unlock!
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
16 of 83 sampled reviews raised it
I did this last but seeing how co-op played most of the game would be so much easier in co-op than it was solo.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
13 of 83 sampled reviews raised it
The multiplayer balancing leads to exciting and moderately difficult battles that challenged me, but the single player experience was easy enough that I beat the last boss with just the attack button (On Standard and EX).
