Tidy Up Tuesday #17


We would like to kindly remind all our fans and readers that BABD (as well as many of its related blogs, especially @eschergirls) focuses on criticizing commercial artwork made by industry professionals.

We encourage everyone interested in doing similar critique to ours to not bash on amateur/hobbyist/fan content

For-profit indie projects, though, while they’re not as mainstream as AAA studios, are not free from criticism.


It appears Ubisoft has recognized the awesome of Evie Frye and the first Assassin’s Creed Syndicate DLC focuses on her going up against Jack the Ripper.


The fact that some archers use asymmetrical breast straps and that mythical Amazons (supposedly!) cut off one breast for better aim with the bow, doesn’t really change how badly designed is Phoebe’s half-boobplate in Indivisible!

TL;DR:

Other buff warrior ladies who we were glad to cover on BABD:

I’m quietly sure we’ve featured some variant of this game on here before (at this point all the oddly sexualized cutesy anime type fantasy battle games are running together).

This one however, seems special since it’s press kit seems to include an extra image of this heroine in a frozen environment.  It’s as though they decided that it wasn’t already absurd enough, and needed to take it to the next level.

Have you seen the heroes for Warhammer: Vermintide? It’s an upcoming Co-op Horde Mode type game similar to Left 4 Dead. The two lady characters are pretty fantastic. There is a middle-aged badass fire wizard and an elven archer who is covered head to toe.

Given Games Workshop’s usual design policies, which are less than optimal, I’m going to assume this is more Fatshark Games’ doing.  Thankfully it looks like they took a lot of inspiration from Left 4 Dead as well Warhammer.
