The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising their beauty, particularly in the context of mobile gaming, while others criticize them as subpar and reminiscent of a low-quality project.

“- Beautiful graphics (it's meant for mobile, so don't complain).”
“But most people don't know that some lower graphics games look even more realistic than higher graphic games; there are some mobile games with such high-quality graphics that just seem to look fake at some point and it causes lag.”

“Horrible controls and graphics.”
“The graphics are below par (on my other PC that's high-end) and the environment is very barren and lifeless.”
