Interesting/unique game art styles

[DeusLatom]

Curious to see some more out-there looking games with unique art styles and graphic design, dosent have to be good, just interesting! I feel like a lot of games this age lack soul in this aspect so i'd love to see some cool ones.

Check out Cruelty Squad. It's a fever dream.

Kirby's Dreamland 3 has one of my favorite artstyles. A contender for one of the best looking titles on the SNES.

Universe Prison on Steam. Artstyle is on the more strange side of things. It's a dungeon crawler.

I'd consider the King's Field series to look bleak at times. Below is a character from King's Field 3.

And for a modern release, OMORI has a distinct style.

Parappa the rapper.

Cultic is great and the whole thing was made by one dude. You can find it on Steam and I think it's the best boomer shooter since Ion Fury.

Stratagem Lost is an upcoming turn based strategy game kinda like Fire Emblem that really caught my eye because of the artstyle, it looks like something straight out of a punk comic book

I LOVE hand-drawn graphics styles. Hollow Knight is my favorite in that style, but Cuphead is up there too. The upcoming FPS Mouse: P.I. For Hire has a 1930s cartoon hand-drawn graphic style and it looks incredible

Obvious answer coming from Suda51's biggest dick rider on this forum, but every Kill the Past game has extremely unique visuals.

The Dark Eye (1995)

I never see people talk about how cool the visual presentation in those games are.

The gorgeous, ethereal visuals of VanillaWare.

I mentioned this game in a different thread and I gotta do it again because it's still about the artstyle. Before the Night is a one-developer indie game that caught my interest because nearly all the assets are hand-painted by the dev:

N.O.B. Neo Organic Bioform (1995)

Everything is really high contrast and wacky, I love it.

I'm extremely obsessed with Judero's look n feel. Mostly made with stop motion and hand drawn assets for the insides of buildings. Very good writing to boot. Easily my fav game in a minute

Another stand out is definitely Hyper Demon. The 360 degree vision is sick as hell and really what makes me put this game here as a rec.

Oh! Also Mundaun. The textures were entirely pencil drawn and scanned in. There's a good bts video about it on youtube. Overall, a very solid folk horror tale.

Moon RPG enjoyer!?

It's not really unique, but the aesthetics of Hexen 2 speak to me on another level.

I wish I had more good screenshots of this game to show.
