Not sure what reverse engineering assets means. There is source code for them so they are what they are.

With "asset reverse engineering" I meant: recreating the assets from scratch. Just like a painter reproducing another painting.

That would be copyright infringement. At that point, you might as well just hit copy files from the original game.
