The Experienced difficulty rating (3rd out of 5) is quite well-balanced for anyone familiar with turn-based combat games, though there were some unexpected difficulty spikes in places, particularly when act end bosses were involved.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's different from SteamWorld Dig on every level outside of graphics and is its own game in the same universe.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack features plenty of great folksy vocal tracks to punctuate moments of victory or enjoying a visit to the shops and the local space-taverns.
