The graphics of the game are generally described as decent, with many users noting that they are acceptable and provide a functional gaming environment, though not groundbreaking. While some players appreciate the polished visuals and animations, others criticize them as dated or lacking depth, particularly in comparison to other titles. Overall, the graphics receive mixed reviews, with a consensus that they are satisfactory for the game's price point but could benefit from further refinement and optimization.
“The graphics are very good and even though there are not many people playing, the bots are like real online players controlling them.”
“This game is really well done for being in alpha; I can say as of now it has good graphics, the combat feels good, and there is a nice amount of recoil.”
“Great game, great graphics.”
“While it has some decent visuals, the unpolished gameplay, weak storyline, and poor sound design overshadow any positive aspects.”
“The graphics are also dated and some guns can be fired faster than their animation, like the pistol, which you can clearly see desync because you can fire it twice as fast as its slow recoil animation.”
“The graphics are flat and show no real characteristics of a good solid FPS; the menu is clunky and difficult to use, and the movement is slow but is made even worse with bad sensitivity and even worse gun movements.”
