Boasting bitcrushed soundbites and bitpop
beats by Defense Mechanism, it sounds the
part. As for looks, the sprite work has the
bobble-headed charm of chibi art styles.
The vehicle aesthetic is more realistic but
they still look like they’re straight out of
the doll’s house. The art direction feels far
more confident rendering nuts and bolts
rather than our protagonists, but the pixel
art is nothing to sniff at. There is a clear
understanding that bosses are sold not only
through their challenge but also via visual
spectacle. They’re still diminutive but not to
be trifled with, bringing the pain
with screen-sweeping attacks in
standout arenas. The Beljantaur
Kingdom can take us on again
any time. [Issue#177, p.156]
