Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
23 of 82 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay feels smooth, responsive, and easy to pick up without feeling completely brainless.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
17 of 82 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op transforms the experience from a solitary test of endurance into a frantic group survival effort, especially during boss encounters and high-density rooms.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
13 of 82 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is immediate and kinetic, leaning closer to twin-stick shooters and arcade roguelikes than traditional dungeon crawlers.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
10 of 82 sampled reviews raised it
The art style works incredibly well for what the game is trying to do.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 82 sampled reviews raised it
Its obviously still very much so in development, I feel that the balance of the first boss went too far in the other direction (from being impossible to me smoking him in seconds with the tommy gun) but that might be fine, the difficulty of the second area made up for it.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
5 of 82 sampled reviews raised it
Turning on PvP adds an entirely different layer when you suddenly have to remember that the people you're shooting at are your friends.
