The characters art is beautiful......but not the pixel art

[Samseng Yik]

I guess it is impossible for developer to make the full game into nice 2D art already.
Is it something wrong with my eyes?
The pixel art is way below dead cell, or is it just dead cell done it beautifully?

I don't mind most of the art but the sprites' faces look wrong. Especially Maya.

Dead Cells isn't Pixel Art though.
They 3D rendered characters and used in-house software that then rendered these models ar a very small, pixelated scale.
Here's a great acticle if you're interested:

The main benefit is, that it's much faster than doing traditional, hand made pixel art sprite sheets. But it's usually not what Inti is going for stylistically.

Your opinion is bad. Inti Creates has some of the best pixel artists in the industry.

This is pixel art done quite well and not meant to be HD or like Dead Cells. Its meant to be exactly what it is.It's a throw back to great NES/SNES games.If you can't see that and appreciate it then it's not for you.

Ah alright, I don't mean to sounds bad to this game.
Probably I expect better solution like Into The Breach, Dead Cell those
