pixel art

....... can u ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ STOP making games with this non sense ♥♥♥♥ low quality art?????? so many games ruined by this "art" :puke. Is just a low effort attempt to sell something when u suck at painting.

FOR REAL, Heroes of might and magic 7.5 has better graphic (for not speaking about 50x the content, but this is another point)

It may not be for you, but devs should not stop doing it because your displeased with it.

It's not really great. It's not the worst, but the only appeal is the depth illusion that they've achieved, which is just copying the style of Octopath Traveler. They could have had a better detalisation of their visuals, there are way better looking pixel games out there.

you do understand that a games graphics or art style doesnt dictate whether a game is fun to play or not right? this games art style might not be everyones cup of tea but i think its really nice looking in comparison to other pixel art games at any rate. I dont understand how people can say a game is bad just because of the games art style. literally makes zero sense

It's funny cuz normally I don't compliment art to much in games, but this is one of those exceptions. It caught my eye, it may not be the pinnacle of this style idk, but I think it looks great honestly. Plus it's not just static, it has a lot of movement with the lighting and other elements.

Everyones eyes are different I guess. I think the OP was perhaps addressing the difficulty in seeing some detail that would be helpful in game play. I dont want to speak for him but that was/is an issue for me in that some of the awesome models seem difficult to discern sometimes.

Graphics quality

I am a bit disappointed with the quality of the graphics of the game. Looks barely better than the original HoMM.

dont be too harsh on OP guys eye sight is one of the first things to go when ur getting old lol 😹

[shy]

jokes aside one of the ex spineworld artists (Emanu Garnheim) literally did the art for this game youd have to be insane to think it looks bad.... get ur eyes checked gramps :P

Honestly I do kinda like the HoMM 1 storybook fairytale look but this is clearly higher detail.

Well except for those being massive sprites that take up a ton of the screen.

And the cloud of blood was top tier

EDIT: wait is that video some censored version? Units used to explode in a cloud of blood when killed I'm not crazy

Different stroke I suppose. The pixel art in SoC is gorgeous.

To be clear here, I have a slowly but surely degenerative eye condition which may never fully blind me but it's entirely a possibility depending how if it ever speeds up or not lol I've bin lucky and it has bin very slow so far rofl but even still I see the beauty in the art of thos game.

I only refunded it as it didn't have the coop we were looking for yet, but we are 100% coming back when it's had time to cook cuz it was decently fun as is. But the art was the first thing I noticed and I don't normally compliment art 😂

unfortunately the art style has me not buying the game. I do like pixel games, but only in certain game categories. This does not do the trick and not fun looking at it at a tactics point of view.

Gameplay great, graphics could be more polished/smooth
