graphics
16 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe graphics of the game have been widely criticized as subpar, even for a free indie title from 2015, with many reviewers noting a flat and basic aesthetic reminiscent of early 90s games. The lack of cinematics and a polished visual presentation detracts from the overall experience, especially given the fantasy setting that typically demands better aesthetics. While some appreciate the underlying concept, the visual execution leaves much to be desired.
“Fantasy is a setting that has to have good aesthetics.”
“Graphics aren't the best, but it does have a nice concept!”
“The graphics are obviously poor.”
“Conquest could be fun, there are some buildings but everything seems so flat, the graphics are basic, there are no cinematics, or any ending screen.”
“As one of the other reviews described, it has an early 90's feel to the graphics (and for once that phrase does not mean 'pixel art', which is a rarity).”
