The graphics are described as simple and 2D, suitable for older PCs with low specifications, but they fall short of modern standards for PC gaming. Despite this, some users rated the graphics positively, indicating a level of charm or nostalgia. Overall, the graphics may appeal to those seeking lightweight games but may disappoint modern gamers looking for advanced visuals.
