The graphics have been enhanced using AI to upscale the original artwork, which some users find acceptable as it complements rather than replaces the original assets. While the art style remains appealing, the underlying visuals still reflect their outdated 1993 origins, and the new graphics, though optional, effectively utilize the larger screen format.
- “The art style still looks nice.”
- “New graphics are optional, but they make use of the larger screen format, so why not?”
- “Still doesn't help the old, tired, busted 1993 visuals though.”
- “The developer used AI to upscale the original artwork... we all know AI slop is disgusting, but this seems like one of those really rare cases that it's okay, because the developers didn't use AI as a substitute for real, genuinely created game assets, just enhancing the original game assets.”
