The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim, with many users praising them as "amazing," "awesome," and "top-notch." Players appreciate the high-quality visuals, which are often compared to console-level graphics, enhancing the overall gaming experience. However, some reviews mention that while the graphics are impressive, the gameplay can become repetitive, and there are concerns about the game's reliance on in-app purchases for progression.
“The graphics are out of this world.”
“The graphics are amazing, best I have seen on a mobile game.”
“Graphics are exceptional.”
“Frankly the game is terrible, the graphics are good but the gameplay is terrible, the sensitivity options are atrocious, after 3 straight minutes of pop ups and ads you find out you're not even able to play the game because every map downloads separately from the game, it's basically just repetitive waiting for resources to generate.”
“Well, I always was excited about this game and when I installed it, I was kinda disappointed due to its graphics because of its dullness as compared to your base which is quite colorful and it doesn't make you feel alive, like I said it needs more improvement in graphics and I have been playing PvP, zombie games for a while now, but this game doesn't really surprise your eyes.”
“This game sucks, takes a lot of data, graphics are very poor, and the controls are so weird and cheap, like low-grade games. I didn't want to give this cheap game 1 star but for writing a review, I have to do that.”
