The graphics of the game are criticized for their simplistic low-quality vector art, which remains unimproved even with resolution adjustments. Reviewers note that the lack of substantial graphical options results in mediocre 2D visuals, failing to meet the expectations of PC gamers for high-quality visuals.
“While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic low-quality vector art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
“Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the mediocre 2D visuals.”
“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high-quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”
