The graphics of the game have undergone a significant change, leading to mixed feelings among users who feel that the new art style has stripped the game of its original identity. While some appreciate the inclusion of the old art style as alternate costumes, there is a strong desire for an option to revert to the previous visuals entirely. Overall, the shift in graphics has sparked a debate about the value of artistic consistency versus innovation.
“You paid the artists for the assets, might as well use 'em, but this game's old art style is gone and with it went its entire identity.”
“You like rollback so much, please include an option to rollback the art style!”
“The old art style is available as alternate costumes.”
