The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users describing them as simplistic and low-poly, often likening them to outdated styles reminiscent of early 2000s games. While some players feel that graphics are not the most important aspect of gameplay, others criticize the art style as unappealing and in need of improvement, particularly in character models and menus. Overall, the visuals are seen as generic and lacking depth, which detracts from the overall experience.
“Graphics is Roblox styled.”
“Although simple (vector based) visuals, a promising but not too complex pirate/sea battle game.”
“It has a low polygon art style with assets that look like they were taken from a Humble Bundle low polygon asset bundle.”
“Simple and raw graphics didn't catch my eye that much at this stage.”
“I saw the same style low poly graphics in many games, especially those dot-eye NPC characters that are common among some simple low poly games.”
“The menus need work and the graphics are also freaking ugly - the art style is embarrassing but could be fixed if they added a few more polygons, especially to character models, which look like something out of RuneScape in the 2000s.”
