Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
203 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In particular, I enjoyed that because you could play any of the 6 characters, the story unfolds with a form of group dynamic rather than a "leader+whoever has a useful/funny line" way.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
104 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Understand your teams abilities and use them and there is no need for grinding.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
85 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is REALLY fun; easily the best part of the game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is a bit pixelly and I feel vector graphics would have been better, but the graphics are still really enjoyable.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Character design and animations fine as well, for an indie game it's rather more than I had expected.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its strength lies in its dialogue primarily, its artwork secondarily, and its soundtrack tertiarily.
