The graphics in the game have been criticized for being low-effort and primitive, leading to issues with visibility and performance, particularly under certain conditions. While some aspects are better than average, overall, the design reflects a lack of experience and care from the developers.
- “As a game developer, I would say most of the practical game design is terribly lazy and low effort. In specific conditions, this becomes a problem, making it barely playable or barely visible due to FPS drops from overly intense effect stacking or lighting from hits. Quite a bit of the graphics are simply too primitive; this developer possibly has no experience at all.”

- “If you are suffering from a skill issue, then it may be really tedious and repetitive. Think again about strategy and figure out what is useless and what is useful. You can banish upgrade options and focus on specific ones.”
