    The graphics in the game are criticized for their poor resolution and pixelation, featuring blocky, retro-style visuals that do not improve with resolution changes. While the main character is well-defined, the overall aesthetic is marred by overlapping graphics and a lack of refinement in the user interface.

    • “The game reminds me of RPGMO but with better graphics.”
    • “I played one game with bad resolution, overlapping graphics, and finally crashed to desktop after losing.”
    • “The main character is well defined, but in general, the graphics are very pixelated and the different areas are made using large squared tiles.”
    • “I mean, come on - when I changed the resolution, the game itself rescaled its ugly blocky 'retro graphics' to match, but it did not do anything at all about the GUI.”
