The graphics of the game have received largely negative feedback, with many users criticizing them as low-quality and reminiscent of "lazy pixel art." While some appreciate the visual style, the overall consensus suggests that the graphics detract from the gaming experience, overshadowed by a lack of content and depth.

- “The art style is unique and adds a lot of character to the overall experience.”
- “The graphics suck, there's no content to speak of (one of those 'procgen is content!' crapfests)... this espouses some of the worst things gaming has to offer today and should be avoided.”
- “This features really godawful, lazy pixel art instead of real graphics.”
- “It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”

The music in the game is criticized for being tied to a "donation" model, where players are expected to purchase additional soundtrack DLC from Steam, leading to perceptions of the developer engaging in "digital panhandling." Overall, the music experience is seen as lacking value unless players are willing to spend extra money.
- “This is only free in a rudimentary sense... the developer has their hand out for a soundtrack 'donation' for this as you're expected to buy some extra soundtrack DLC from Steam... digital panhandling.”

The gameplay is often compared to a 2D version of Minecraft, but many users find it lacking in enjoyment, and the exclusive use of Spanish adds to the frustration.
- “It's another 'Minecraft but 2D!' game. The only language is Spanish, which is really annoying, and the gameplay isn't fun.”

The monetization strategy of "Nether Heroes" has been criticized as a cash grab, with users expressing concern that the game, originally a mobile app, is likely to introduce an in-game cash shop similar to its mobile counterpart.
- “Nether Heroes is a garbage mobile app that's been dumped on Steam, presumably with the intention of later shoving a cash grab in-game cash shop into it like the mobile version has.”
