- WTF?! Developers mistook an RPG for a FCKN terrain simulator?!
Designing an UI is not just creating photo-realistic terrain, which an RPG doesn't need, but designing the LOOK, where on just one screenshot players can visually separate the combatants from the background!

Classic mistake.. Encased devs made here.

Look at how in Fallout 1-2 the separation of NPCs from the MAP graphics itself is EXCELLENTLY done. The player can instantly make out where people / characters are on the map versus Encased, where we almost can't see SHT as a result of faulty 'MAP-COLOR-INTENSITY'-design!

Wrote this to them as well.

Why do you think there are different circles around chars (+ combat grid) used in many isometric RPGs?

Write it someone to Mercy pls.

I get your point, but where exactly do you see problems seperating creatures from the background?

Another game inspired by Fallout just makes me want to play the finished release. So hopefully it gets released sometime in 2021 given the rate of development in updates.

At least I don't have to watch the video now!
