Priority fixes

  1. [genre_clarity] Add a subtle pixel-art or retro visual element or texture overlay to communicate the boomer-shooter gameplay style, preventing expectation mismatch with buyers expecting modern graphics.
  2. [title_readability] Increase the size or weight of the WARHAMMER 40,000 franchise label so it remains legible at small capsule sizes and leverages brand recognition.
  3. [contrast_color] Darken or add a subtle gradient vignette behind the flanking enemy masses to improve silhouette separation at tiny size and prevent side elements from merging into a muddy border.
  4. [composition] Slightly increase the vertical breathing room between the hero figure and the logo to reduce compression crowding when the capsule is viewed at small and tiny sizes.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Clarify the servo-skull's role and gameplay impact in one sentence (e.g., 'accompanied by your loyal servo-skull companion that provides tactical support').
  2. [uniqueness] Strengthen the horde mode description and move it earlier if it is a core endgame loop; specify how it differs from campaign gameplay.
  3. [hook_strength] Consider adding a brief difficulty or accessibility note early to reassure players about control/pacing options, given the boomer shooter intensity might concern some.
