Opinions on Pixel Art

I am almost done with the development of my auto battler like boardgame and looking to get it to Kickstars soon.

I am working on hiring an artist for the work which is essentially my last step outside of repeat testing/balance.

I am thinking of doing a higher quality/detailed Pixel Art design. Do you think that would go over well or poorly? I want the art to stand out and be unique and have that factor of people just like looking at it, like how I feel about Everdell.
