The graphics of the game are criticized for their simplistic 2D art assets, which feel more suited for mobile devices than PC gaming. Despite options to adjust resolution, the visuals remain lackluster and unrefined, leading to a comparison with much older games that feature superior animation and presentation. Overall, the visual quality is deemed inadequate, lacking the depth and detail expected from modern PC titles.
- “Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lackluster 2D visuals.”
- “Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Asteroids had more advanced animation and visuals going on than this game does.”
- “This feels like it was designed for mobile phones with touch controls rather than PC gaming, and as such it compares poorly to PC-centric wargames with considerably better graphics, gameplay, and tactical depth.”
- “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
- “While the artwork itself, while mediocre, might be considered passable, the visual presentation here is negligible; it might as well be a slideshow or a YouTube video.”

The story is generally considered barebones, lacking depth and engagement, with some players expressing a desire for more content, such as additional campaigns and units. While there are elements that could enhance the experience, the overall narrative does not stand out compared to other games in the genre.
- “The story is okay; I would like to see the undead campaign and future units.”
- “Tactical depth is very low, the UI is pretty dodgy, and the story is pretty barebones.”
- “I admittedly only played about 4 missions (but it looks like the game only has 10), and there's absolutely nothing I saw to recommend this over Battle for Wesnoth.”
- “You can make maps with the editor, which may be good for some, although some elements are missing that would actually make sense to speed up the making process. The story is okay, but I would like to see the undead campaign and future units.”
