Gameplay

93 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are extremely simple and the gameplay makes you focus on what you're experiencing rather than what you're seeing.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This is one of the most in-depth character customization and class fantasy fulfilling games I've played.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's honestly one of the best roguelikes I've played with plenty of changes to difficulty to suit your wishes.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The depth of the gameplay and amount of content on offer for the price renders any concerns about the graphics null and void, in my albeit aging and nostalgia-saturated opinion.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is quite entertaining when you got to engage with it, you apply shields/heals/buffs to yourself while debuffing the enemy and going ham on them.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Roguelike mode makes every death meaningful, and each run feels fresh with new story elements, builds, challenges, and discoveries.
