Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
96 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It sounds like a novelty at first, but the concept is integrated deeply enough into exploration, combat, inventory management, and quests that the interface becomes an actual gameplay mechanic.
Interface

+Inventory system is good and fair, with opportunity to store stuff with the guild available in certain towns.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Speaking of combat, this is actually one of the best single-character RPG battle systems I've experienced.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Different character options and abilities encourage experimentation, while weapons, armor, useful items, and other discoveries gradually shape each run.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Additionally, the way the game's difficulty scaling works allows you decent control over how easy or hard you want your run to be, making it easy enough to regularly get powerful runs if you put the time and effort into it, or challenge yourself with a faster progressing time limit.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
+The early 1990s look and sounds of the game fit together, and the midi-type soundtrack is top notch for an RPG.
