Wow, it's been awhile, CVD peeps.
I actually like the look of this a lot. I will always prefer pixel art, but so many recent indie projects use a minimalist pixel art approach, to the point where it's overused these days. And the good stuff like Owlboy takes a ton of work to develop. I'm not the most diehard Streets of Rage fan, but I'll definitely pick this one up.
I'm surprised to see some negative comments about Double Dragon Neon here. I thought that game looked gorgeous and is aging well so far. Other than a minor complaint about the controls (that slight delay when initiating a crouch or run), I thought it was a fantastic game in every aspect. Neon was truly one of the most memorable games from the 7th generation, in my book.
