Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
66 of 114 sampled reviews raised it
As is common in games from inkle, the game is well written with characters talking about their goals and pasts as you travel, telling a large collection of tales around campfires while you rest, the conversations between allies, enemies, and characters of unknown allegiances on maps, and the direction the story takes influencing the skills that you learn to aid in battle.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
42 of 114 sampled reviews raised it
Runs in Pendragon usually take about an hour and thanks to its roguelike design, replayability is very high.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
10 of 114 sampled reviews raised it
The environments use the same hyper simplistic style and I find charm in them, in fact I’d say I really like the graphics overall.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 114 sampled reviews raised it
The writing itself is wonderfully short and effective, set to the moody soundtrack by Laurence Chapman.
