Gameplay

I don't dabble with turn based games all that much outside of XCOM but the mechanics and world building was intriguing enough for me to see it through.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
44 of 184 sampled reviews raised it
Enemies are constantly dropping weapons and armor that can potentially improve your build in various ways, or you can sell them off for gold (which seems to be the main intended source of your character’s income).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
33 of 184 sampled reviews raised it
Progression feels great, the grind is pretty mild when compared to similar games, and there are quite a few side quests if you're willing to explore.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

12 of 184 sampled reviews raised it
you will be given a choice from a variety of skills in which you can immediately pick up many classes for yourself that you can always play even within one playthrough thanks to the ability to reset skills and characteristics.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 184 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack and audio design contribute heavily to the atmosphere as well.
