The graphics in the game are criticized for their lack of originality, featuring repetitive character designs, enemies, and dungeon aesthetics. Additionally, the RPG Maker engine limits visual quality, with poor fullscreen display and no support for full HD or graphics customization, making it unsuitable for modern PC gamers.

- “It's the same playable characters, the same enemies, the same dungeon design aesthetic, and the same canned town designs with four buildings: an inn, an item shop, an equipment shop, and a house where you get information on where the next dungeon is.”
