The graphics of Nppd Rush are polarizing, with many reviewers praising its commitment to a retro 80s arcade aesthetic while others criticize the visuals as muddy, confusing, and difficult to navigate. While some appreciate the unique art style and nostalgic feel, others find the graphics overwhelming and poorly executed, detracting from the overall gameplay experience. Overall, the game's visuals evoke a distinct retro vibe, but their clarity and functionality are often called into question.
- “Nppd Rush is an unapologetic game, with a commitment to a retro 80's arcade aesthetic, and I have to give it some praise for having a vision and seeing it through.”
- “The graphics are very retro and remind me of the C64 days, and if that's what they targeted, they hit the mark.”
- “The visuals, sexy, tiled, and multi-textured, made me feel like I was bolting through a cramped, neon and chippy glass tower of 198x excess.”
- “The graphics are terrible retro pixel graphics, and to make matters worse, they're noisy as all hell.”
- “The graphics are horrible (reminds me of a Vic-20 or 1984 level PC graphics), the music is pretty forgettable, and the gameplay is nothing to write home about either.”
- “The graphics are very unclear what is background and what's an actual object, and also what enemies are, or backgrounds are, or what you're looking at.”

- “The story includes a strange storyline which is briefly given to you at the start of the game, with the rest of the story uncovering as you play further.”
- “The plot is given to you when you boot up the game; nauseous pines (a city) has a drug epidemic (nox) by nightclub owner ultra violet.”

- “I really don't know much of the story outside of what's mentioned in the three opening scenes and the one when you start the game.”
- “The story, as it is, is infinitely ignorable.”

- “The random maps give it good replay value.”
- “It is a game you will probably have to play a few times to beat, and there likely won't be much replay value for you afterwards, but I'll be damned if it didn't accomplish its goal and tell a sick, fun story in the process.”
grinding
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and frustrating, noting that the short mission timer begins even on the main menu, which disrupts the farming experience. This design choice contributes to a rushed feel, detracting from overall enjoyment.
- “The game seemed rushed, not because of the intended graphics, but because the gameplay was very short and tedious.”
- “There is a 5-minute mission timer, and as I found out when I was idling the game, it starts on the main menu, not in-game. So every five minutes when you are farming, you will still get an annoying alarm signaling the end of game time.”
