Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
68 of 210 sampled reviews raised it
Fun gameplay - Most of this game consists of combat, and I have to say the spells really let you get creative.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
47 of 210 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op turns everything up to eleven: you get more action on screen, faster and flashier combos, more tactical variability.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
34 of 210 sampled reviews raised it
The combat itself is brisk and satisfying, balancing accessibility with enough challenge to keep players on their toes.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 210 sampled reviews raised it
Visuals: pretty, vibrant colors, nice monsters and generally pleasant to the eye.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
8 of 210 sampled reviews raised it
The walk cycle is a bit... weird, all things considered, but character design is solid enough and it's a small enough complaint where that's mostly chalked up to the nature of the game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 210 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack complements this with light orchestral tones that shift smoothly between peaceful exploration and energetic battle themes.
