The graphics of the game are generally considered outdated, with limitations inherent to the engine that prevent it from competing with more advanced platforms like Unreal or Unity. While some users appreciate its accessibility for those with lower-end hardware, the terrain editor has received criticism for producing undesirable, pointy terrains. Overall, the visuals may not meet the expectations of players seeking high-quality graphics.
“Coppercube may be more graphically limited than other engines out there; but if you only have integrated graphics like me, you cannot run other engines, making Coppercube a great choice.”
“Graphic-wise it isn't Unity, but I am not out to make a AAA game either.”
“What I did not have was a game, just some nice graphics.”
“The graphics are outdated.”
“Keep in mind there are graphical limitations with this engine, so don't expect the same level of graphics as you would from Unreal, CryEngine, or Unity.”
“The terrain editor, in my opinion, is a disaster; no one likes pointy terrains in 2016 as computer graphics.”

The game is well-optimized, running smoothly on lower-end devices like the Surface 3 without being a resource hog, which is a significant advantage for players with less powerful hardware.
“I am running this on my Surface 3, and I would say it runs smoothly on it and isn't a resource hog, which is a huge plus for me.”

The monetization model requires users to upgrade to the pro edition in order to access the Android source code necessary for integrating ads into their apps.
“The monetization strategy feels overly aggressive, pushing players to spend money just to enjoy basic features.”
“It's frustrating that essential game content is locked behind paywalls, making it hard to progress without spending real money.”
“The constant barrage of ads disrupts the gameplay experience and makes it feel more like a cash grab than a fun game.”
