The game's graphics feature a unique block cartoon style that some players find charming, though opinions vary on their overall quality. While the visuals are described as stunning and smooth, with good frame rates, they may not impress everyone and lack advanced graphical settings. Overall, the graphics contribute to an enjoyable atmosphere, complementing the gameplay despite being perceived as simplistic by some.
“Very unique style zombie survival shooter, probably among the best block cartoon graphics I've seen in a while, and the zombies look great. The game feels a little bare bones when firing weapons and fighting.”
“The UI is very easy to navigate and understand, and the graphics also look stunning while maintaining very good FPS, like in the 200s. Love the game.”
“On top of that, elegant graphics and a neatly designed level work together with the game's core features to build up an atmosphere of increasing tension as you sense approaching death.”
“Yea this game is cute and all, and the classes mean you can set up strategies and have a good time with your friends, but there is no matchmaking, so without friends you are dead. Also, you have no graphical settings; like, what is this, a console game?”
“I get the style they’re going for; they’re not great graphics, but I don’t think that’s the point here.”
“But overall you won’t be impressed, and honestly, the graphics might even be off-putting, but I highly recommend giving it a shot, despite this.”
