The game's graphics are characterized by a lazy minimalist style with untextured low-polygon assets, reminiscent of early 1990s 3D games. This approach is criticized as a cover for a lack of effort and talent, rather than a deliberate artistic choice, leaving players feeling disappointed with the visual presentation.
- “The lack of textures is a method that lazy developers often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to pass it off as 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose.' This is not something gamers should have to put up with.”
- “The graphics are outdated and lack detail, making the game feel unpolished and uninviting.”
- “The character models look flat and lifeless, which detracts from the overall immersion of the game.”
