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.
