The graphics of the game, set to release on January 5th, 2024, are likened to "Panzer General 3D," with a simplistic and retro aesthetic reminiscent of early gaming. While the visuals are described as pleasant and featuring distinguishable unit models, they lack the sophistication of modern graphical standards, resembling the work of a novice designer. Overall, the graphics serve their purpose but do not aim for high artistic achievement.
- “The visuals are not only pleasant but also boast distinguishable unit models.”
- “The graphics overall are more reminiscent of 'Panzer General 3D' and when assessing the complexity, which starts with the strategic board game Risk on the lower end and ends with grand strategy games like 'Gary Grigsby's War in the East' or 'Hearts of Iron' on top, I see it as closer to Risk.”
- “Furthermore, I don't expect graphical masterpieces in the game or mouseover pop-ups to explain things and/or functions, but placing the most important buttons to use in-game with a bright explanatory one-liner on the start screen can be representative of the graphic presentation.”
