The graphics of the game are criticized for their simplistic and lackluster 2D art style, resembling low-effort flash or mobile games. Despite options to adjust resolution, these changes do not enhance the visual quality, leaving players disappointed with the overall graphics experience.
“While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
“The game features somewhat lazy, simplistic 'retro' looking 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low effort flash/browser games and mobile apps.”
“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”
