    The graphics in the game are generally considered passable, with some reviewers appreciating the unique art style that combines ink painting and comic aesthetics, particularly in the cutscenes. However, there is a consensus that while the visuals have charm, they do not elevate the overall gameplay experience, which falls short of top-tier standards.

    • “I love the use of the black and white, comic book aesthetics to visualize the world of a blind martial artist.”
    • “I wish a bit more was done with him being blind, but it still gave the game a really cool black-and-white aesthetic regardless.”
    • “The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better.”
    • “The art style used for the cutscenes has a charm to it, almost like a mix between ink paintings and comic style.”
    • “I love the use of the black and white comic book aesthetics to visualize the world of a blind martial artist.”
  • story
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of "Blindsight: War of the Wardens" presents an intriguing narrative centered around a blind martial artist, enhanced by strong voice acting and engaging cutscenes. While the concept is promising and the setting is well-crafted, the execution feels unfinished and clumsy, leaving players with a desire for a more polished and expansive storyline. Overall, the game offers a unique perspective on perception, though it falls short of fully realizing its potential.

    • “Though the story and voice acting were good, as well as the set.”
    • “It brought the story to life.”
    • “While we only get a taste of a larger story, the amazing voice acting and animatics for the cutscenes definitely piqued my interest and left me wanting to know more.”
    • “Blindsight: War of the Wardens is an unusual console-esque narrative-driven arcade brawler where you take on the role of a daredevil/someone with the blind martial artist trope and do some really poor quality brawling through a storyline.”
    • “The story setting is just right; the idea behind the game is nice, but the game feels unfinished and clumsy.”
    • “In this short experience, you immerse yourself in a world where perception goes beyond visual cues (at least that's what the devs try and somewhat succeed), with a not-so-bad story.”
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some praising its fun mechanics and movement, particularly the innovative use of sound in a 'blind' mechanic. However, critics note that the character's blindness does not significantly impact gameplay, leading to a lack of depth and engagement. Overall, while there are enjoyable elements, the gameplay does not fully meet the expectations set by its visuals.

    • “It’s a fun mechanic that I wish I would see more often, as I love the idea of having to rely on sound to see.”
    • “Interesting use of the 'blind' mechanic.”
    • “Amazing gameplay, fun movement, and hot animation.”
    • “There is no explanation for the mechanic.”
    • “My largest complaint is that the character's blindness (and the main hook of the game) doesn't affect the gameplay at all, leaving much to be desired.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, featuring a decent score that evokes a superhero movie vibe, though some find it repetitive. The background music is highlighted as top-tier, complemented by enjoyable voice acting.

    • “The background music was top tier, and I loved the voice-acted lines.”
    • “The music score is decent, but it becomes repetitive quickly.”
