Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
119 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A great, but normally invisble thing, here is that the game works well for completely opposite playstyles.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I always need to commend an idle game for having a good ending; this one has three, and honestly each and every one of them could be a satisfying moment to end your playthrough on.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Research underpins a lot of per-run upgrades and most of numerical metaprogression, while combat gatekeeps big metaprogression milestones and numerical per-run upgrades, and they feed each other.
