    The graphics of the game are a polarizing mix of pixelated visuals and photo-scanned elements, reminiscent of classic titles like Doom, which some players find charming while others deem them rough and unengaging. The aesthetic, characterized by a grainy, lo-fi style, appeals to fans of retro shooters but can lead to visual confusion and repetitiveness in level design. Overall, while the graphics may evoke nostalgia, they often detract from the gameplay experience for many players.

    • “Also, the graphics mix the classic Doom blockiness with enemies made out of real photos, so if you like this style, Concrete Visions is your jam.”
    • “Graphics are photo scanned, digitized with fluid movement, very much reminded me of Sharpshooter 3D!”
    • “I'm a big fan of the grainy aesthetic here; it's my favorite part of the game.”
    • “The game's graphics are pretty cheap and have a pixelation filter, so enemy sprites far away turn into 3 pixels high, literally.”
    • “This would be fine if the game was better, because I do enjoy these kinds of shooters; however, the art style is extremely nauseating in a way the screenshots don't do justice, and the whole game just isn't that engaging.”
    • “Incredibly boring, the graphics are fine for a while, but after a few levels they get samey, and not being able to see anything in the distance is annoying.”
  • story7 mentions

    The game's story is described as a short and straightforward revenge narrative, with some reviewers feeling that it lacks depth and variety in missions. While the last mission is highlighted as the most intense and engaging, there is a consensus that the overall story could benefit from more expansion, including additional missions, diverse settings, and enhanced voice acting.

    • “I also think they could expand on overall level design. The first few missions are all the same aesthetically, featuring forests and houses, while the last mission is a 'sewer type' with dark lighting, making it easily the most intense mission of the game.”
    • “- Short & sweet revenge story.”
    • “I truly believe that if these devs wanted to expand, they totally could. More guns, more voice acting, and a larger story would enhance the experience. The game gives off classic Wolfenstein vibes, and the best part of the game is the last mission.”
    • “I also think they could expand on overall level design. The first few missions are all the same aesthetically, featuring forests and houses, while the last mission is a 'sewer type' with dark lighting. It's easily the most intense mission of the game.”
