Gameplay

135 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If anything I kind of feel like the gameplay is on par with the bureaucracy and burnout outlined in the game.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
117 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you try to button mash, it will punish you for that - but the combos are so basic, that you can string whatever combination of melee, spell, or cloak abilities with seamless transition if you pay attention to your cooldowns and or mana usage.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
75 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art is really cute and there's a lot to like about it, however, all the floors began to meld together and feel the same because everything was the same muted monochrome visuals.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As a story and messages in dialogues, characters and enviroments there are a lot of things to unpack I think.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Even though there is no voice acting, the writing, characters, and story are absolutely hilarious, and the lore is beyond clever. the different spells, special attacks, and main weapons are very fun and very different from each other, which adds so much to replayability.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Death as a playable character is incredibly fun due to all the variation he has.
