The graphics in the game are generally described as rough and simplistic, with a noticeable lack of consistency in art style across different elements. While some players appreciate the game's charm despite its low-budget appearance, others find the visual design frustrating and unpolished, impacting their overall experience.
“While [b]Dice & Dungeons[/b] is clearly a low-budget production (the art style seems to vary from one enemy to another), it hooked me and didn't let go until I'd completed all of the game's achievements.”
“When I run up against a monster with sneak, I am made to rage quit due to the inanity of the design. It's a nice idea, but between its very rough graphics, poor documentation, and terrible-but-too-common situations, I can't recommend.”

Players find the abilities underwhelming and not well-integrated into the overall gameplay loop.
