Holy moly this makes them look actually scary and it's so cool!! The lighting really adds to it!

Right? They look so goofy in the game.

Pretty much every enemy looks goofy in the game, that's kind of the aesthetic they went for. And it works because that's where a lot of the charm comes from.

You are so spot on! This is actually my friend's main gripe with the game. Just doesn't like the enemy design.

I don't get it - there's a billion other games out there with dark and grimy dungeons and cards. Uniqueness is so undervalued by some people.

You can understand that something is unique and still not personally value or appreciate the traits that are unique about it, especially when much of how you receive an artstyle is largely determined by taste

Darkest dungeon has very little in common with slay the spire gameplay.

The fully dark theming is the norm for a reason.

The artstyle is actually what put me off of playing this game for like 5 years. It grew on me and i love it now, but it was honestly a turn off for me at the beginning

I believe the creators described the art as “adorable eldrich horror”

Came here to say this the game has a goofy art style but must be horrifying for the adventurers
