The game's graphics have been criticized for their outdated and lackluster 2D visuals, with reviewers expressing disappointment that the developer has not embraced modern 3D graphics, which have been mainstream since the mid-1990s. Many gamers feel that investing in high-end gaming hardware should offer more than just 2D experiences, especially when even mobile devices can handle 3D graphics.
- “The game features really lackluster 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?).”
- “Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games.”
- “Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now.”
