The graphics received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the nostalgic aesthetic while others found the higher resolution to be underwhelming and not significantly enhancing the experience. Issues such as poor collision detection and inconsistent visual styles between characters and enemies detracted from immersion, and the repetitive environment design made navigation frustrating. Overall, while the graphics did not ruin the game, they also failed to elevate it beyond a rough experience.
- “The higher resolution graphics 'doesn't add much' (as opposed to adding, say, length), but hey, at least they didn't destroy anything either.”
- “I liked the nostalgic graphics, but after starting the game, that was all that kept me going for as long as I did because everything about the experience was rough.”
- “Some objects don't have collision, others will allow your character to slightly clip through at certain sides. The story is very dull, and almost every bit of the environment looks the same before reaching the first town, which makes finding items a nightmare. The basic combat is jarring since the enemies don't share that same 90's computer game graphic aesthetic compared to your characters. The first unwinnable fight went on for way too long, making me think I could win it and waste a bunch of items in the process before taking a massive attack that killed everyone quickly, which should've happened ASAP to let the player know just to give up.”

The story is criticized for being dull and unengaging, with a repetitive environment that complicates item discovery. Players find the combat mechanics jarring, particularly due to a mismatch in graphic styles and an unwinnable fight that drags on unnecessarily. Additionally, progression is hindered by mandatory sidequests to gather money, detracting from the sense of player choice.
- “In the first town, you're blocked off from advancing the plot until you get enough money, which makes all the rudimentary 'sidequests' from NPCs mandatory instead of sounding like they were optional.”
