The graphics of the game are widely praised for their detail, atmosphere, and overall aesthetic appeal, particularly in third-person mode. While some players experienced minor performance issues and noted that lower-end graphics cards struggled with optimization, many found the visuals to be vibrant and easy on the eyes. Overall, the game's graphics are considered a strong point, with potential for further improvements in future updates.
“The graphics, details, and overall atmosphere are among the game’s strongest aspects.”
“The atmosphere and graphics of the game are also quite impressive.”
“The graphics are already good looking, especially while controlling a unit in third person mode, and the dev team is talking about how they are going to rework some of the clunkier looking objects and add even more variants to some already varied and good looking objects like trees, etc. so I have no doubts this game will look even better in the future.”
“However, it's very disappointing that my graphics card (2060) seems unable to keep up with the optimization of this game, even when I set the graphics to the lowest, which is fatal for an RTS game.”
“To ensure the longevity of my graphics card, I have to put my desire to play this game on hold.”
“Comparing with other games of similar graphic fidelity and complexity running on Unity, I'd expect around 2x performance from the final version, running at stable 120 Hz 1440p @ 2070 Super.”

Overall, the game's optimization has received largely negative feedback, with users reporting significant performance issues, bugs, and limited multithreading capabilities. Many players express disappointment, particularly regarding the game's inability to run smoothly even on lower graphics settings, despite some acknowledging its decent price-to-performance ratio. While there are hopes for future improvements, the current state of optimization is considered poor compared to similar titles.
“Performance is within an acceptable range, but multithreading is limited to 4 cores for now, so be careful when training more than 100 units.”
“Content gets added at a decent pace (they dropped 3 civs recently, not bad at all), what I'm worried about the most is the performance.”
“It hits a sweet spot in terms of the price-to-performance ratio, especially considering it's the brainchild of an indie studio.”
“It is buggy and poorly optimized.”
“However, it's very disappointing that my graphics card (2060) seems unable to keep up with the optimization of this game, even when I set the graphics to the lowest, which is fatal for an RTS game.”
