Low Poly Modeling in Video Games

A number of games with low poly artstyle have been released in recent years; a few are highlighted below.

The game “Superhot” generated a lot of hype on YouTube. In the game, the player has to defeat several waves of enemies from a first-person perspective. To do this, they have a wide variety of weapons at their disposal, from swords to pistols. The special feature of the game is that the enemies only move when the player moves. This mechanic and the low poly art style make the game unique.

In “Morphite”, the player travels to various randomly generated planets to explore them. Various creatures can be found here, some of which can be defeated, tamed and ridden. The player is guided to explore the planets and overcome dangerous terrain.

Another new mechanic can be found in the first person platformer “Clustertruck”. The player must jump over moving trucks at high speed and reach the finish line of each level. This becomes increasingly difficult over time as trucks come flying in from the side or from above and the speed increases.

In “Grow Home”, the player controls a small robot that gets stranded on a planet and has to get back to its spaceship. To do this, a giant plant must be cultivated so that it grows into the sky. Over time, the robot is given gadgets such as a jetpack or a glider, which makes it easier to climb the plant.
