The graphics and animations have been widely criticized as subpar, with many reviewers expressing disappointment in the overall visual quality and performance, particularly the low frame rate of 30 fps. There is a strong sentiment that the developers need to significantly improve both the graphics and game mechanics to meet modern standards.
“The graphics are poor and the animations are worse.”
“The devs need to go back to the drawing board for game mechanics and visuals, which is pathetic since they didn't have to do anything conceptually.”
“The standard nowadays is 60 fps minimum, not 30. I really wanted to like this, but it makes the graphics look really terrible.”

Reviews indicate a significant concern regarding the game's monetization strategy, with players feeling that it prioritizes profit over quality gameplay, leading to a perception of rushed releases and excessive downloadable content (DLC).
“There seems to be too much focus on monetization and not on quality gameplay; it's like they want to get a basic, barely functioning game out there, then crank out a crap load of DLC.”
“The monetization strategy feels exploitative, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending extra money.”
“I feel like the game is designed more to extract money from players than to provide a fun experience.”
