Well it is a problem... when I see the wonky finger. When I see the 9.6 legged giant spider. When I see the party in front of the giant spider facing the wall when the spider is clearly about to get them, when I see the spider staring off into space instead of down at its prey. When I see firecurls around the wizard's staircase. When I see a demon palm tree. It just really throws me OUT of the mood that the real art puts me in.
This guy has some thoughts, I will read more:

Anyway, I hate to talk bad about this game. It does so many good things, and Dionne seems to be a very kind hearted and genuine person... I really like her. So sorry for the critique, but that AI art has to stop. Really.
On a positive note, I am playing Solodark right now using Cursed Scroll 1, The Gloaming. It's fun, it's difficult. I'm using the hexcrawl with 3 characters, a ranger, wizard, cleric. I had to go to level 2 for each of the characters when I saw the difficulty of the random encounters. And I sure need to remember to do reaction rolls, holy moly, or they will never get past 2 encounters.
