Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
13 of 193 sampled reviews raised it
It is unique, the subject matter and story are interesting (especially for fans of the graphic novels like me), and I enjoy chaotic RNG and unpredictable scenarios and seeing how they play out.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 193 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are good, and really sell the 8-bit concept which the designers promised.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 193 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design is excellent and the art style preserves the feel of its source material.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 193 sampled reviews raised it
Let there be no mistake: this game has a legitimate difficulty curve, one that happens because it's a genuinely challenging game, and because the paradigms and philosophies behind BPRE are counterintuitive to many conventional turn-based games.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
8 of 193 sampled reviews raised it
If you like turn based combat, or are just a fan of BPRE, this is a fun one to try.
