I recommend you Dragon´s Crown

[Hammerskjold]

Both men and women in the game are exaggeratedly portraied.

Right. The men are all hyper-exaggerated male power fantasies. And so are the women.

See? All equal.

Here's a pic of the male fighter, with his helmet off. Maybe it is just me, but there is a 'Fabio' harlequin book cover aspect to it.
(edited addition: Broad shoulders and big muscular arms on a male humanoid are not solely a male power \fulfillment fantasy.
There are some women who find that physical trait attractive. Shock and vapours, I know right. But that's humans for you.)



The rest of the poses, are obviously exaggerated gestures. And you know what, their silhouette looks great for visually communicating to me, what the character is doing.

Does that mean I always want every female and or male characters in every video games to be this exaggerated, no. There is an excellent case to be made that the vidyas can use more believable characters, and not just visually speaking.

With that said, this looks like a clearly labeled as such, fantasy game that uses a visual caricature style. It doesn't resemble or contain that much actual body types found in real life. It has situations involving dragons and creatures that doesn't seem to be in our realm of reality either.

And for my coin, that's fine. If anyone do not like it for whatever reason, that's fine too. Last I looked this was not an item anyone is forced to buy.


Beyond the 'OMG Big Boobies and Bulldog Bodybuilder' controversy, the artwork of this game also contains depiction of food. Gorgeously exaggerated, overly sensual, 18th century still life style, delicious looking food.

Best Most Controversial Video Game
Dragon’s Crown

Dragon’s Crown is an addictive, beautifully crafted homage to the side scrolling beat ‘em up games of my youth. However, there are problematic aspects of the art style that leave me conflicted. The game is certainly fun to play, but the depictions of food drawn by artist George Kamitani are gross exaggerations of reality. Personally, I find them offensive and degrading to real food. It’s like the images were ripped from some sick Chef’s fantasy, to the point where I don’t know how anyone else could enjoy or appreciate this game.

I don't always see vegetables that vivacious in real life. I don't go for escargot', but that depiction makes it look like the finest delicacy I want to sample. The marbling on that meat looks to be at least 70% fat. Something in real life, I would not buy or eat. But here it looks so sensual and mouthwatering.

It makes me question why the artist(s) wants to confuse me with such great looking fantasy visuals, when real world reality is rarely that vibrant looking.

Maybe they're secretly trying to peddle me food porn in the guise of a side scrolling brawler game?

Outrage and harumph.
