The graphics of the game receive mixed feedback, with some players appreciating the nice, simplistic aesthetic and attention to detail, while others criticize the lack of high-definition support and issues on modern screens. Although some users report no graphical problems, others suggest that adjusting the desktop resolution can alleviate corruption in high resolutions. Overall, the graphics are described as pleasant but somewhat outdated and rough around the edges.
“The game offers some really nice graphics and a nice yet simplistic aesthetic which is pleasant all the same and has some amazing attention to detail even though it is a little rough around the edges.”
“I'm not having any graphical issues as reported in other reviews.”
“The game has run without any graphics issues for me (32" curved Samsung, Windows 7) but all of the old bugs are still present.”
“To help, the graphics are corrupt for high resolution and widescreen; however, this is fixed by changing your desktop resolution to 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768.”
“Graphics are way off on modern screens.”
“I can't recommend this game to anyone because the graphics are not in HD like Industry Giant 2.”

The monetization aspect of the game is minimal, featuring no advertisements and limited product lines, which contributes to a straightforward gameplay experience. Players have few options for interaction with opponents, primarily limited to destructive actions, indicating a lack of depth in competitive monetization strategies.
