Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
52 of 175 sampled reviews raised it
The scope of LoA 1 (already referring to it thusly, because a second title is in development) is moderately epic, with quite a nice-sized open world to explore.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
33 of 175 sampled reviews raised it
A large open world to explore, a full party of characters to level up and equip, lots of little things to discover while you explore, simple and fast turn-based combat, and a nice sense of adventure.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
28 of 175 sampled reviews raised it
Captures the fun of the 90s RPGs but with a smooth interface and more clarity in quests, gear, etc.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
22 of 175 sampled reviews raised it
Took me almost 35 hours on the hardest difficulty and I would strongly suggest playing it that way for maximum enjoyment.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
16 of 175 sampled reviews raised it
Highly recommended to fans of Wizardry, Bard's Tale, MoM, etc., though I think that new players curious about genre roots and tolerant of simple graphics could certainly enjoy it independent of its influences.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
15 of 175 sampled reviews raised it
Each class has a special ability that can be used once per rest period, and these were all generally very useful.
