The graphics of the game have been criticized for their low quality and lack of coherence, with many reviewers noting that the retro pixel art feels outdated and poorly executed. The resolution options do not improve the visuals, which appear to be a mix of pixel art and 2D sprites that contribute to an overall impression of laziness in design.
“While the controls can be customized, the visuals are clearly phoned in.”
“Resolution is locked; using the different resolution options from the Unity launcher makes no discernible difference to the poor quality visuals.”
“A choice was made to use obsolete retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
