Terrible logo
Whole Retro 80s "aesthetic" stuff in general is wank. All that war wave nonsense. Not only a bit anachronistic but a bit shite init

Aha, I see the 'who the fuck shot me' and the 'thank you teammate for shooting me in the ass' simulator proceeds to go forward in time!

i loved rs2 and ro2, so i'm definitely gonna cop. there's a lot that turns me off about this, specifically how it currently looks like every other indie war shooter out right now (glossy textures and effects that look like default ue4 rips and are probably optimized, oversold action that wants to be the next battlefield).
i don't doubt antimatter can make a fun shooter. 80 player servers in a game like this has always been the dream for me since modders made 100-man servers in rs2. unfortunately i can already tell the type of community this is going to attract before it sees a fast death in under a year of it's release

imo the logo looks good but you're actually spot on. idk what anachronistic means because i'm mentally challenged but it does invite a sense of "COOL RUSSIAN WAR :OOO" werhaboo interest which has turned me off from plenty of things (war thunder, world of tanks, escape from tarkov, even ww3rp).
Gods Oxford Dictionary would probably offer a better definition but it's when something is placed into a time period that it is not actually from or associated with. In the case of the video my issue lies with the hammed up VHS degradation neon synth experience
Anachronistic probably best applies to the music. The "synthwave"/outrun stuff that always seems to accompany this style is a bit of a far cry from actual 80s electronic/synth music.. Maybe a tinge of john carpenter can be heard if youre lucky but i'd say it's fair most of it misrepresents what the actual music of the time sounded like.
All a matter of personal taste in the end but I would much prefer we got some real 80s synths instead of this exaggerated and nostalgic far cry blood dragon shit
