Loot Shooter Copycat The First Descendant Accused Of Ripping Off Destiny 2 Art
8.7.2024
I’ve had some fun with The First Descendant but I wouldn’t say a strong, distinctive art style is one of its core virtues. It’s a pretty derivative game from head-to-toe. Now it turns out that some of the free-to-play loot shooter’s in-game icons appear to be ripped almost wholesale from Destiny...
