The graphics are generally well-received, with praise for the art style and setting, particularly for fans of mech games and retro aesthetics. However, there are calls for higher resolution and enhanced object libraries, particle effects, and overall graphical evolution to fully realize the game's potential.
“Really like the art style and setting.”
“The idea is fantastic... I'm suspicious because I've always liked to spend hours in the Arma 3 editor creating scenes. In short, all that's missing is more graphic resolution to be able to have incredible screenshots. After that, it's time to evolve the library of objects, manipulation of the same, particles, and effects. Anyway, the idea is genius. If it has, in addition to the mechs, soldiers, and infantry of all times, it would be epic. Congratulations on the initiative; I hope it evolves over time.”
“If you have a sweet spot for mech games, retro graphics, and unusual settings, you should definitely give it a go!”
