This, sadly, is no longer true for the Steam version of the game. It comes with a (pretty good) tile-set, which is enabled by default.

I still think, the old ASCII art and keyboard-centric UI was better, but well...

My understanding is that the steam version released with no ASCII tileset, but there is one now after an update. I bought the steam version but haven't played it much at all, so I haven't confirmed this myself.

Yup, you can play the 'post steam' version via steam or free download and get the ASCII characters, however you are still forced to use the mouse to play it, which doesn't work for me, so I stick with the old 47 release and just play that forever I guess!

Yep. In addition, there is now a free build of version 50.xx on the official website, which uses the same code as the Steam version, but does not include the tileset and the soundtrack.

I tried that free build on the weekend (because I didn't want to bother with installing Steam on my ARM64 laptop), and it still looks as amazing as always. Now I just need to learn the keybindings for the Steam version - because using a mouse with ASCII graphics feels just wrong 😉.
