    The graphics feature a low-poly, simplistic style that prioritizes clarity and smooth gameplay over high resolution or polish. While some users appreciate the clear visuals and strategic design, others note the basic animations and low graphical quality, suggesting optimization improvements for low-end systems.

    • “The low-poly aesthetic keeps visual clarity high, ensuring that despite large numbers of players and projectiles, the action remains readable and smooth.”
    • “It offers structured class-based combat, strategic map design, and coordinated team play, all wrapped in an absurd yet endearing aesthetic.”
    • “But I would like an optimization update because I have a low 12 fps at the lowest graphics settings.”
    • “It isn't the most polished game; the gunplay is simple, melee consists of button mashing, graphics are low resolution, and animations are even more basic.”
    • “You don’t really care about graphical quality.”
