The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the dazzling visuals and unique execution for the genre, while others criticize the outdated, pixelated aesthetics reminiscent of early 2000s titles. Many users report poor optimization leading to lag and low framerates, particularly during character-heavy scenes, indicating a lack of significant graphical updates over the years. Overall, the visuals seem to be a point of contention, with some players finding them engaging and others deeming them subpar and in need of overhaul.
- “Dazzling visuals, engaging gameplay, yet, lacks the Italian plumber's whimsical charm.”
- “Those effects and the quality of the graphics and transitions... I've never seen it executed in such a manner for this genre of game.”
- “10/10 graphics are also phenomenal as well.”
- “The graphics are as pixelated as an 80s arcade game, the story has more holes than Swiss cheese, and the mechanics?”
- “I have a gaming desktop with 16GB of RAM and a newer NVIDIA graphics card, and the framerate is so poor and laggy that the game is practically unplayable.”

The grinding aspect of the game is heavily emphasized, with many players finding it both extensive and time-consuming, often requiring months or even years to achieve significant progress. While some enjoy the grind and appreciate the optional auto-combat features, others criticize the reliance on real cash for efficient grinding and the prevalence of lootbox mechanics. Overall, the game promotes a grind-heavy experience that may deter those looking for a more balanced gameplay approach.
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “Grinding in this game is best done with autoclickers in case of mining, and by buying time for the in-game auto hunting bot... which again, costs real cash to do. Most of the items you can buy in the store are practically lootboxes; everything has a 'chance' to give what you actually want.”
- “Like someone else already said, it's just a grinding game - kill mobs, pick drops, level up, repeat.”
- “When it comes to grinding, it takes simply months or years in order to purchase a weapon that you need.”
