The graphics of the game have received significant criticism, with many users expressing frustration over the lack of adjustable settings, which leads to poor performance and low frame rates, especially on lower-end devices. Reviewers are calling for options to modify graphics quality, such as reducing foliage and adjusting resolution, to enhance gameplay experience. Overall, while some players appreciate the game's design, the consensus is that optimization and customizable graphics settings are urgently needed for better performance across various devices.
- “Absolutely love the port of this game! It runs well and plays well, but the only thing that needs to be looked at is better graphics options for people with more powerful smartphones. I'm running this game on an S22 Ultra, and everything is on point except for the graphics. This has got to be something that can be updated after seeing other games that run at a high FPS but with better graphics, like Apex Legends Mobile.”
- “The game is great! The controls and everything are also good, but the graphics are too demanding, causing lag. It would be much better if we had the option to switch graphics settings, as I often crash during gameplay. Please consider adding this feature.”
- “Amazing game with amazing graphics, but definitely not for low-end mobile devices. It's just too hard to play on those devices, and there's noticeable lag.”
- “Horribly optimized to the point it is unplayable with its incredibly low fps and non-existent graphic options.”
- “The game is perfect and I love it, the only thing that is bad about this game is there is no graphics slider, so for low-end devices it will lag. Please add a graphics slider, that's the only request I have.”
- “It's very laggy and not optimized enough for a phone, and also it's great but it needs further optimization for graphics as it's making the game laggy.”

- “The optimization, however, is horrible.”
- “Horribly optimized to the point it is unplayable with its incredibly low FPS and non-existent graphic options.”
