The art direction is terrible. They seriously need to decide whether or not they are going for realism or more "cartoony" stylization.

I'm really hoping that the screens released so far are deliberately underwhelming, because most of it looks pretty uninspired. I mean, compare the screenshots to that first piece of concept art Acer posted. If you want to capture those smoky touches of Frank Frazetta in-game, the first step is not to make everything shiny! The characters end up looking like action figures.
However, that trailer does show off some cool designs (the worm thing, the tower) that actually get at the craziness of the album covers Schafer was supposedly inspired by, so I'm hoping the game has plenty more of that up its sleeve.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
