The graphics performance is notably poor, running at extremely low frame rates even on minimal settings, with persistent visual bugs such as incomplete ship rendering. Despite this, some users find the aesthetics supported well by the music, but overall the visuals remain problematic and detract from playability.
- “We talk about 8 fps on lowest possible settings on a GT 730M here (that thing can run Metro Exodus at 8 fps! While this game is far, far apart graphics-wise from Metro and still performs just as poorly).”
- “Three years later, it still is unplayable; the visuals bug out like crazy, and my ship is only half visible in the bottom right corner of my screen.”
