The graphics of the game are praised for their unique art style and impressive movement, making it a standout feature for many players. However, some users have experienced issues with graphics settings, particularly related to the performance of blood effects during gameplay. Overall, the visuals are considered a strong point, especially for a project developed by students.
- “I really enjoy the movement of this game; it's definitely my favorite part. The art and graphics are so unique, I love it! This is definitely one of the best underrated games I've played. As a university project, you guys smashed it! I'll be waiting patiently for another game by you.”
- “Could just be an issue with the graphics settings, but I'm guessing the amount of blood effects happening at once could also be the cause.”
