Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
All the care that went into art style and music really pays off here, as well as all the little hints and details about the story and world.
83 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It has enough length and replayability to keep things intersting, and it is short enough, that once you have completed it all, it leaves you feeling accomplished, and yearning for more from the world.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The menagerie is very impressive, with interesting design and unique attack patterns, and the graphics are beautiful pixel graphics that surpass games from the era it emulates.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The sound design is excellent as well; there are some very creepy localized environment sounds that really helped to set the mood when I was in particular rooms or got too close to something otherworldly.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The environments are very detailed, with a lot of unique sprite assets and environments throughout the game; this makes it pretty easy to navigate even without a map, and makes exploration fun and interesting.
