Users note that the game's graphics demand a capable GPU, as it struggles on lower-end options like Intel integrated graphics and older models such as the T580 with MX250. For optimal performance, a more powerful GPU, such as an RTX 3070, is recommended to run the game smoothly at high settings.
“The GPU I use can run games like Elden Ring with the highest graphics settings and still maintain a normal temperature.”
“The old T580 with MX250 graphics struggles, so a machine like my MSI Katana with an RTX 3070 is essential.”

Reviewers criticize Candy Games Studios/Tero Lunkka for engaging in unethical monetization practices by releasing low-quality games that exploit the work of others, viewing these actions as mere cash grabs rather than genuine contributions to the gaming community.
“Candy Games Studios/Tero Lunkka has shown a repeated pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
“The monetization strategy feels exploitative, pushing players to spend money to enjoy basic features that should be included in the game.”
“It's frustrating to see so many paywalls in a game that could have been enjoyable without the constant pressure to spend more.”
