Regarding the Graphic Choices in Soulash 2

[EdenGenesisWs]

Hello everyone!

To begin with, I'd like to express my admiration for Soulash 1, and I'm hopeful for an equally enjoyable experience with Soulash 2.

However, upon reviewing the images, I find myself grappling with the new graphics.

In the first installment, you could observe the characters' entire bodies, whereas in this sequel, you only see their faces within a circle. I find it a bit disappointing, but I acknowledge that my opinion might shift if I get the chance to test the game.

I've been fortunate to receive several Steam keys for testing and evaluating games, with the intention of promoting them on my Discord server. Nevertheless, if time and budget permit, I may be enticed to purchase Soulash 2.

What is your opinion regarding the choice of having a circle with the characters' faces instead of the sprites from Soulash 1?

Never played Soul lash 1. Always prefer full body over portraits.

I don't like the tokens/portraits. I would like full body characters.

[Bruce Wayne]

refreshing. my hopes are devs are more focused on fleshing out the details and depth of the game rather than graphics.

[Machiavelli]

They should make it like Battle Brothers. Would look way better.

I for one really enjoy the new round tokens. They allow me to imagine far more than what the full body sprites would have detailed. The problem is that the game is just utterly broken and unplayable as of right now.

I finally recently purchased the game, and I'm encountering challenges with the character graphics, as mentioned earlier. I initially thought I would become accustomed to them as I played, but unfortunately, that hasn't been the case.

Additionally, it's not fair to compare it to "Battle Brother" since they are entirely different types of games. If you enjoy "Battle Brother," I would suggest trying "Wartales" or similar games.

Having played "Soulash I," you'll likely understand why I preferred it. It's not just the round-faced character design that bothers me; the gameplay also seems to have changed and become more complex.

I find it difficult to grasp the new gameplay mechanics.

I genuinely hope that the characters will be modified to have a body, similar to the previous game; otherwise, it will be disappointing.

I feel like with the npc token's soul ash 2 has currently it would make it so easy for modder's to add there own content. All they have to do is create a image and give it a token border and boom new npc. This system has so much room for growth.

I forgot about moding! It would be great if talented modder added corps instead of these circle faces!

Hoping that the pog-like portraits are just placeholders for an actual pixeldrawn character model like the previous game. UI also seems a bit of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ compared to the previous as well...

There was a previous thread talking about this topic, and yes. Most people preferred character sprites over portrait. I personally prefer a system where we can choose in option or hit a hotkey to switch between portrait and spirit, as the portrait makes it easier to find specific NPC.

[Artur Smiarowski]

Disabling portraits through mods is now possible, if anyone wants to make an alternative. :)

I've been holding off buying specifically because of this one thing. Can't wait for someone to make a mod for it!
