The game's artwork is generally appreciated for its dark, atmospheric style, but many users find the graphics problematic due to small, cluttered displays, unclear visuals, and an overall dark or plain presentation that hinders readability and enjoyment. Some note that while the graphics aren't impressive, they help with battery life, but improvements in clarity and aesthetic appeal could significantly enhance the experience.
- “Controls are fine, art and graphics are great overall (although I do prefer that some of it will be replaced with better ones; that'll make it perfect).”
- “Absolutely fantastic, dark atmosphere, I loved the artwork and actually enjoyed the gameplay.”
- “I think something a bit more plain for the background would allow the card artworks to pop up more.”
- “But in general - great job, I'm giving 4 stars because of these ugly graphics xd.”
- “Maaan the overall game balancing is broken, like the moment you stepped out from the beginner city on lvl 1 the enemies can kill you that easy, graphics are horrible I can't even tell what I'm fighting with and the random encounter is pretty crappy, even if you're on higher level and have better troops enemies can kill you pretty easy like what the hell am I spending gold for if I keep missing my hits while fighting tougher enemies who don't have any of those problems.”
- “Then you try to play but the controls are clunky, the font is minuscule, and the graphics are horrible... just no.”
