The graphics of the game are generally well-received, with many users praising the environments and overall visual quality, especially for an indie title. However, there are notable issues, including bugs and performance problems, particularly in multiplayer mode, which detract from the experience. Overall, while the graphics show promise, significant improvements and updates are needed to fully realize their potential.
“The graphics are good (maybe zombies, weapons, and blood can be improved, but the environments are very good for an indie game).”
“I like the graphics, guns, and zombies!”
“Even the survival build mode that's in is really nice, plays very well, I haven't noticed any bugs even though it's small and the graphics are beautiful!”
“They might have some graphical issues or multiplayer issues.”
“Update: no update in 4 months. I am guessing the devs have given up or never intended on finishing it. I am very disappointed in the same old story of a game developer who could easily make this a very fun game and utilize even 5% of the possibilities, and they just seem to walk away. I'd stay away from this now until they start working on it again.”
