Yeah, there’s a definite Commodore 64 aesthetic to it, but it feels like every pixel is meaningful. It’s all just detailed enough to be able to tell what’s going on.

I also think it’s a nice-looking game. The graphics help convey the setting really well, IMO. I really enjoyed it.

Right? The graphic choice tells me what I’m getting, and they somehow made it pretty. There could be more signs telling me to play it, but I don’t really need them.

Well Rogue did come out 45 years ago. 35 years ago was around the end of the NES/start of SNES generation.
