The game's graphics are criticized for relying on outdated retro pixel art, which fails to meet contemporary standards. Despite offering resolution options, these merely upscale the simplistic 2D assets without enhancing overall quality, leaving players with a lackluster visual experience and no significant means to improve it.
“A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
“While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
“Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lackluster 2D visuals.”
