The graphics are praised for their crispness and vividness, enhancing the gameplay experience even during chaotic moments. The unique and refreshing aesthetic, particularly the tarot card designs, sets the game apart from others in the genre, with comparisons made to the distinct styles of titles like Castlevania and Lovecraftian themes. Overall, the visuals contribute significantly to the game's charm and appeal.
- “It also has crisp and vivid graphics that make it easy to keep up with the action while the screen is flooded.”
- “The esoteric aesthetic is fun, the tarot cards are cool, and the flavor of each character's unique cards from their booster packs feels special.”
- “The refreshing aesthetic sets it apart.”
- “Like, Rogue Genesia and Nomad Survival are top-tier spawn of the Vampire Survivor seed, but their aesthetic doesn't pop as much as VS' Castlevania vibes. 20 Minutes Till Dawn's Lovecraftian monochrome is still charmingly mundane in a classic indie way, packaged with a great game.”
