They look fucking terrible and even more generic than the originals. At least the originals were easy to read and you knew the theme they were trying to portray.
You never retool the art of a game based on audience feedback if the original was not completely terrible. This looks like theu actually got all the feedback of the tests and added everything the 13 year olds asked, instead of being smart of what feedback to follow.
A team that does this doesnt inpire any confidence for the rest of the game, thats is for sure.
The spartan and pirate look like good cartoon characters, if somewhat a little generic, nls they look like overdesigned MOBA turds.
And, as a fan of old covilizations, the "warriors of myth and legend" is more attractive than blablabla inmortality.
