The graphics of the game are characterized by a charming pixel art style that many players find appealing, though opinions vary on its usability and clarity. While some appreciate the aesthetic and find it enhances the gameplay experience, others criticize the low resolution for making it difficult to distinguish between different elements and manage the game effectively. Overall, the visuals are seen as a significant draw for fans of retro-style graphics, particularly those who enjoy games reminiscent of Dwarf Fortress.
“The graphics are impressive; everything is eye-candy.”
“Odd Realm is a wonderful colony management sim with loads of quality-of-life features, an intuitive interface, and very appealing visuals, all taking place in one of the most unique universes I’ve seen.”
“The graphics are simple yet charming with a lovely soundtrack.”
“It's also tentative because I think I really like it, but the pixel graphics, while cute, really work against the game that has so much stuff lying around on the floor.”
“And, since the graphics suck, you can't extract much joy from staring at what you have built because you can barely tell a kitchen, a foundry, and a smithy apart.”
“My main problem is that the graphics are even below DF tileset level in legibility if you want some actual info (terrain/trees do look nice though).”
