Krunker features simple, pixelated, voxel-style graphics that prioritize smooth, fast gameplay over visual fidelity, making it accessible on low-end devices. While some players appreciate its retro charm and functional, clean aesthetic, others find the graphics outdated, blocky, or unattractive compared to modern shooters. Overall, the minimalist visuals complement the game's focus on quick, competitive action but may not satisfy those seeking high-end graphics.
- “The clean and crisp visuals not only enhance the gameplay but also ensure that even players with lower-end PCs can enjoy this gem without any performance hiccups.”

- “Game doesn't load and when it finally does the graphics are awful and I can't load any maps other than the CS:GO one.”
- “Awfully optimized for such a low graphic game.”

The monetization of the game heavily relies on intrusive ads, microtransactions, loot boxes, and cosmetic purchases, which many users find excessive and disruptive to gameplay.

- “- Ads don't always open (there aren't ads that you have to worry about, but there's an optional ad reward you can receive every hour I think).”
- “I have not touched it since 2023 and came across it in my library. I found this game during early 2019 while searching for Minecraft knockoffs and instantly loved it. During its prime from 2020 to 2022 this was my favorite game. Sad to see how far a beloved game of mine has fallen, now filled with microtransactions for skins instead of new content.”
- “During my time trying to replay this once fun game, it would open McAfee anti-virus ads on my browser during a match; which would tab me out of the game and get me killed.”
- “The hard push towards microtransactions, a lack of adequate official server moderation, and the death of competitive has killed any interest I had in this game for quite some time.”
