Only two playable characters? Where's my Max? :-( #notlikethis

On a more serious note, I feel like the current art makes the characters blend into the background, making it a tad hard to keep track of them. Hopefully something that can be tuned before release.

Good for fans of this series and I just wish Phantasy Star or Shining Force could get anywhere near the same treatment :(

Super cool. I'm always interested in remakes from old school franchises from when I was a kid.

I also dig the artstyle and the music. Lizardcube are excellent.

Friendly reminder that the guys doing the art were also behind this:

I think it's in good hands on that front. Hopefully it plays well.

Holy fuck.....not really digging the artstyle but I've been wondering for years why the SOR IP has been dormant for so long.

Yeah that's cool but not sure about the art style though.
I wonder if we can do like Wonder Boy and change to 16 bits style in real time.

That would fix the issue for everyone.

They gave him a beard!? Suh-weet!

P.S. I love the art style. What's the point in having a franchise if every game is going to feel the same and never take a risk?

I strongly disliked the art in Wonder Boy but I'm all aboard for this.

Day one.

Not super into the art style, but will definitely check it out. I think Sega should make a Streets of Rage game in the style of Yakuza aimed at an international market, I really think it could work.

Pixel art always look better than crappy/lazy vector graphics. They could have gone the SNK route; imagine pixel art with animations similar to Metal Slug.

But no. They decided to be lazy and just release a fucking Newgrounds-quality cash-in game.
Do you not know how expensive and time consuming drawing such art is? There's a reason why King of Fighters transitioned out of it, and you shouldn't really expect a small indie studio with a modest budget to do Metal Slug-esque sprite work. It's not laziness, it's just expenses.

Do you even know how expansive an art style like that is? Let me give you a hint: It is expansive as fuck.

This artstyle is fine looks great for what it is attempting to do. It looked worse in the screenshota but seeing it live made me believe in it.
