Which UI layout is better - Side panels or Bottom? Need your opinion

Hey everyone,

We're developing Torchure is a grimdark pixel-art action roguelite with top-down view set in a harsh, unequal world.

Right now we're testing different HUD layouts and would love your honest feedback.

Here are two options:

  1. UI at the bottom (easier to have health and info in focus)
  2. UI on the sides (gives more gameplay space)

Which one do you prefer and why?

  • Which feels more comfortable during intense fights?
  • Which obstructs the view less?
  • Which just looks better overall?

Especially interested in opinions from people who play roguelites / action games / souls-likes.

Thanks in advance!
