Nintendo Life
A fresh, original take on genres past that flourishes through clever design
Visually and aurally superb, forming a world you feel compelled to see all of
One of the deepest and smartest combat formulas in any roguelike action game
Incredibly enjoyable in multiplayer, engineered to run smoothly
The initial grind may be slower than you expect, demanding considerable repetition
Some may find the voice acting quality questionable in places
Difficult to see why multiplayer and local co-op is restricted to only two-players

GamingBolt
Gorgeous art direction and animation
Fantastic soundtrack courtesy of a star-studded cast
Stellar combat with each character offering a fun, unique playstyle
Plenty of room for different entertaining builds
Extensive replay value thanks to random events and a narrative that evolves over multiple runs
Persistent progression can feel a little unexciting, especially in the early going when it's just stat increases
Takes a while to get rolling in the initial hours
Some characters don't get as much as narrative development
Story-telling has a few holes

Vivid art and an exceptional soundtrack

Enormous range of potential builds, and fresh discoveries on each run

Boring enemies in large volumes make the final stretch a slog

Overarching story is fairly forgettable

Doesn't fully address the genre's fundamental weaknesses

Multiplayer.it
The combat system is extraordinary, almost perfect.
The synergies between powers give rise to amusing mergers.
Great care for the artistic aspect of the production
The cards tend to repeat a little too much.
There is a problem with the balancing of the characters.
Once all the upgrades for the heroes are obtained, the level of challenge decreases too much.

Awesome side-scrolling combat
Gorgeous visuals
Slick animation
Roguelite elements work great to start with
Plentiful glitches
Roguelite elements start to really drag, with little new being added in the latter stages

ZTGD
Gorgeous 2D art
Satisfying and fast-paced combat
Good attention to lore and worldbuilding
Not many rituals feel substantial to your moment-to-moment gameplay
The player relies a lot more on incremental meta upgrades and trinkets instead of ritual synergies
Some inspirations would work better as permanent upgrades

Smartworld
Beautiful in aesthetics and in sound
Solid crossover between beat 'em up and roguelike
Physical combat system, muscular
So many surprises in the improvements and the pace
A little frustration dictated by the casualness of the Rites.
System of permanent progression a little fast
We want more characters!
