The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews; while some appreciate the cool art style and well-designed locations, others find the overall aesthetics unattractive and the main gameplay loop underwhelming. The new graphic style is noted to be reminiscent of another indie FPS, and while the artwork is generally praised, there are some concerns about specific design elements like the aim reticle. Overall, the visuals are seen as a highlight, but not without their flaws.
“Devil Guns has a cool art style that I like, and some cool locations too.”
“Devil Guns has a great design aesthetic, although it is under-utilized by its bland main gameplay loop of wave defense.”
“Artwork graphics look nice, the audio is appropriate for its genre, and the movement system has a nice feel (aside from the jump being a bit tight).”
“The aesthetics are ugly.”
“Although the new look makes the game much better, the pentagram aim reticle and new graphic style is taken from Midnight Ultra, another indie FPS game.”
