    The graphics of the game are considered poor by modern standards, with an outdated interface that remains true to its original design. While Close Combat 2 is praised as the best in the series, the first installment suffers from primitive visuals, and subsequent titles fail to enhance the overall enjoyment despite adding complexity.

    • “By today's standards, the graphics are poor and the interface is not modern, but it is exactly as it was.”
    • “Close Combat 2 is widely considered the best of the series, and I can see why - the first one is a bit less of what 2 offers and has primitive graphics, and the later games just add complexity without improving on the fun factor.”
