The graphics of the game are criticized for being subpar, with many reviewers expressing disappointment over its outdated 2D visuals, especially given the widespread availability of 3D graphics since the mid-1990s. Players feel that modern gaming technology should support more advanced graphics, making the choice of 2D design seem out of touch.
- “The game features really lackluster 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?).”
- “Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games.”
- “Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now.”
