The graphics of the game are generally considered basic and not particularly impressive, reminiscent of old-school dungeon crawlers, with some users noting issues like stretched fonts and minimalistic artwork. However, the clean and functional design allows players to appreciate the varied gear on their characters, and many find that the graphics do not detract from the overall gameplay experience. Despite the lack of visual flair, the game's mechanics and character progression provide engaging depth.
“True, the graphics aren't brilliant, but one good thing is that you can see the gear (which is varied) that you wear on your character (even down to your necklace), and who doesn't like that.”
“Ok, so the graphics aren't the best; I would have loved it if they went for pixel art, but honestly, the graphics are fine when you start playing.”
“Some of the font is stretched, the artwork is hardly eye candy, there is a bit of an input delay, and the mixed keyboard/mouse requirement is not exactly my favorite control scheme for a classic-styled roguelike.”
“This game is just like old school dungeon crawlers in graphics, but it has a few more layers.”
