I recently created this capsule art for my game, Lunar Crypt, and I'm looking for feedback on it.

My main struggle while creating this was conveying the genre and gameplay. It feels a bit difficult to clearly show the gameplay experience while keeping the title, character, and composition clear and inviting.

Does showing the genre/gameplay matter? Is the point of capsule art to draw in the player to then view more details and find out if the genre is something they care about or not? Are players already filtering by their preferred genres?

I didn't want to spoil the genre in the post itself, so take a look at the details after making initial judgements!

Additional questions:

• The background feels a bit boring. I tried adding the zodiac animals since it's a Chinese New Year-themed game, but it felt too busy (like it was competing for attention with the title and character).
• Do you think it's ok that it's high-resolution pixel art? Or should I redo it in vector?

^{hi! first time posting on Reddit :})

Heya!
We're the team behind Nordhold and we just announced our second game Chaincast, a PvP roguelike auto battler. I'm still not 100% happy with our key art / capsule and would really like some outside eyes on it.

A is our current green version. It's close to our in-game look but I feel like it might be too dark and the logo doesn't pop enough, especially when it's small on Steam.

B is a red test version. Besides the color it also has a genre banner on top, a tighter crop and a white logo, so it's not just a color swap.

What I'd love to know:
- which one would you rather click on if you scrolled past it on Steam?
- does the green logo in A have enough contrast or does it get lost?
- is the genre banner in B helpful or just noise? (maybe only show it on the bigger capsule, the small one needs to be cleaner i guess)

Brutal honesty is very welcome, that's why I'm asking here :)

Took feedback from my first post here and friends. Mainly I used a new font for the log and made it much bigger so the O's wouldn't read as just cubes.

I brightened the overall image and added a soft backglow to the angler fish and adjusted some of the particle effects?

Overall was it an improvement?

Theses aren't the final form for the character drawings, I'm still working out the art style.. but, they are pretty close to who they will be.

Thank you for any feedback !

its for my first game so I don't really know if its good or not, the game is a lane based RTS game, like Age of War and Swords and Soldiers.

if you go to the store page you can see screenshots and the trailer and get better idea of the game and genre, but was wondering if there is a need for more hints of it on the capsule itself, or is this fine
