    • “The graphics are really nice 2D sprites which ooze character.”

    • “I am 55 years old and this trend with pixel graphics does not bring me nostalgia; it just gives me pain in the eyes.”

  • music
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “It's hideous, the UX is poor, the music is actively painful to listen to.”

    • “My only advice is maybe play your own personal music, as I'm not a huge fan of the added soundtrack in this version.”
  • story
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is largely criticized for its lack of a coherent story or overarching plot, with many reviewers noting that it features minimal lore and character development. While the gameplay is enjoyable and engaging, particularly in multiplayer settings, the absence of a narrative element leaves it feeling incomplete and less immersive. Overall, players express a desire for a more developed story mode to enhance the experience.

    • “If they'd have slid in a half decent story into this game it would've been a contender for one of the best games to come along in a long time.”
    • “I really hope that this hidden gem gets more recognition, and barring that, that the developers take this absolute marvel of gameplay and put it towards a game which, as mentioned above, has a killer story arc to it.”
    • “I really hope that Tann makes a sequel, since the only thing I'm missing is campaign/story mode/vendors, so basically taking this formula and making it a fully fledged RPG.”
    • “The only thing this game lacks is some coherence, as in: a story mode or overarching plot.... or just more interesting unlocks.”
    • “No plot or lore, just 5 adventurers (or possibly 4 adventurers and a cat) going on a quest to kill monsters, level up, and collect sick loot.”
    • “The art is fine, the music honestly kind of sucks, there is not much in the way of animation or sound effects, there is no story or writing, it's all pretty bare bones basic.”

Overall, the combination of clever mechanics and a playful aesthetic contributes to a memorable and entertaining experience.

    • “I don't like games when you go through a tutorial and you already have dozens of achievements, so I respect this game's approach, but it's also kind of funny that even beating an unfair level won't give you anything.”

    Character development in the game is praised for its depth and complexity, with players noting that characters evolve significantly throughout the story. Many reviews highlight the emotional arcs and personal growth of the characters, making them relatable and engaging.
