These terrain tiles are well-conceived in terms of placing elements on the page, but several tiles exhibit a significant variety in art styles, reminding me of tiles composed in Dundjinni using elements from a variety of artists. Take section 2, for example: the hedges cast no shadow at all, the tattered easy chair casts its shadow due north, the couch/divan casts its shadow southwest, and the bathtub casts its shadow northeast—suggesting that the shadows (where they exist) came with the elements themselves rather than being created to fit the scene. The use of PDF layers to allow extra customization is a very nice feature, though, and I think the product is, overall, worth the $3.99 price tag it carries as of this writing. There are flaws, but there are also very few products that fill the same niche, so picking up this tile set and the companion City Tiles 2 is quite worthwhile if you want to use battlemaps in an urban pulp-style game.
