Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
162 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
GQ has some roguelite elements/options, but offers the option to grind xp out, choose your fights and gives a lot more freedom and stability for your character development, which will leave you overpowered if you min-max efficiently even on the highest difficulty fairly quickly.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
109 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game offers three distinct modes: a deep, narrative-driven campaign that will easily take 30+ hours to complete, a quicker roguelike mode for those who want a faster-paced challenge, and a PvP mode where you can test your skills against other players.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.

fantastic game for a great price. tons of replayablity, character customization, and fun weapon/item builds.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
TLDR: Get this if you enjoy deckbuilding, character optimization, roundbased combat and crazy combos.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
