The graphics of the game are praised for their wonderful artwork and charming hand-drawn style, appealing particularly to RPG fans who appreciate detailed character designs and item visuals. While not flashy, the graphics are considered good enough to enhance the engaging combat and overall enjoyment of the game, making it a solid choice for those who value artistic style over high-end visuals.
“Wonderful artwork.”
“Add in the lovely graphics, with that funny, goofy hand-drawn style, and you have a game in which you can easily sink hundreds of hours.”
“Great RPG having a lot of fun; love the art style and character progression. All items you equip on your character actually have their own art. A lot of RPG fans like this, and it's good to know an indie game like this has taken such detail.”

“The graphics feel outdated and lack the detail expected from modern games.”
