Yeah… the art style they went with is pretty jarring They really should have done something more stylised or just more pleasant to look at than the low poly basic generic style they went with Might and magic 2 pixel art battles look way better visually than this low visual fidelity mess.

Nah, even with some of the jank behind Humankind, it looks better than this. So unless paradox is gonna give this a glow up before release I expect it to end up like Imperitor.

It'll be interesting to see this game develop, because I played a few campaigns before deciding to do a sponsored video and enjoyed them. Hopefully it turns out well and the studio developing it (C Prompt Games) can clean up some of the UI, since I think the actual gameplay-loop of different ages and this type of economic management is pretty unique

Bruh. Kleaper really tried to make this game look not as boring as it is. But its still obvious. Like every chaos event is basically: pay up or something bad is going to happen. Esthetics of the game are mega generic and not appealing. Battles do not require much thinking at all. Just gather army with bigger number and you win. The only interesting part is the age progression. But I dont think its redeeming enough.
