The graphics of "Death Rattle" are praised for their stunning visuals and atmospheric design, with particular commendation for the detailed crossbow and well-executed voiceovers. However, players report significant performance issues, including poor framerate on high-end systems, which detracts from the overall experience. Disabling certain graphical features can improve clarity, but the game's design often hampers exploration and appreciation of the visuals.

“The graphics are stunning, the crossbow looks cool, and the voiceovers of the guards are done really well (especially the captain).”
“Runs like trash, absolutely abysmal framerate on high-end rig. Changing graphical settings does nothing. The game seems to want you to find items to craft ammo but can't even find items half the time, and there's constantly enemies spawning so you don't get a chance to stop and look around.”
“There is a place for graphical showpieces on Steam.”
“Disable graphics frills and they get very clear and crisp.”
