  • graphics5 mentions

    The graphics in the game are generally considered subpar, with issues such as pixelation and a lack of full-screen support detracting from the experience. While some users appreciate the beauty of the visuals, many feel that significant optimization is needed, especially given the game's relatively low graphic demands. Overall, the absence of advanced graphic settings further limits the visual appeal.

    • “Beautiful graphics.”
    • “The least pressing but preferable if enhanced issues are the graphics and display.”
    • “I can give a pass for the battlefield graphics, but it's so pixelized even at optimal levels that when you need to read something it's hard to decipher. The display is more of a problem, however, in that you can't set it to full screen and your cursor disappears when you play the game, so in the middle of something important you often find your mouse pop out of the screen and that's kind of annoying.”
    • “It needs so much optimization since I honestly think it's unacceptable for a game like this that doesn't even require advanced graphic capabilities.”
    • “You won't see any exotic options for graphic settings here, no fancy anti-aliasing, shadow, or particle options.”
