No, it _isn't_. It has many things that NO 8-bit system was capable of, like smooth gradients in multiple colors, and rotated sprites.

16-bit I'd maybe grant you, but no way is it 8-bit.

I think we should beWhat about it is 8-bit style? What is 8-bit style?

If it means that it resembles games on 8-bit computers or game consoles, then no, it doesn't really look like 8-bit style. It looks more like early 1990s computer gaming, when things were fully 32-bit all around if you had to reduce it to those terms.
