I'm a retro-gaming enthusiast, I love playing games from the past, especially if I've never heard of them. There are a lot of experiences worth discovering and game preservation is a topic I really care about.    The work of some independent developers and producers to remaster/fix abandoned titles helps a lot and it is a purpose I fully support.   While I can't say I enjoyed playing S.W.I.N.E, I'm still glad it has been remastered and made available on modern platforms.

Aesthetics Remember to say hello to your local frog spirit The game uses pixel art graphics and honestly I've seen games use this drawing technique in a more refined and detailed way.   The looks are lifted by the visuals inspired by the style of Chinese ink paintings , without this inspiration it is very likely that the game would have had a less pronounced appearance.   The animations are ok, without infamy and without praise.   Voice acting only appears on two occasions during gameplay: du
