    The graphics feature a fun and engaging art style with excellent artwork, though some users feel that 2D sprites might suit the game better than the current 3D models. Additionally, the shader quality can appear slightly off, and performance tends to drop when many characters are on screen.

    • “Very fun, excellent artwork and music and simple, yet engaging gameplay.”
    • “I think the art style is fun, but the game would have benefited from using 2D sprites as opposed to the 3D models it does—largely because the shader looks a little off and the game really starts to chug once you have a lot of miners and plastic beasts on screen simultaneously.”
