The graphics in this game are widely criticized as being exceptionally poor, with some reviewers labeling it as one of the worst-looking titles on Steam. The visual quality detracts significantly from the overall experience, overshadowing any redeeming qualities the game may have.
- “The only differences here are even worse graphics and a rather pointless 'priest with a gun' theme... which is explained completely in the title. If your title covers everything about your game, it's not going to be a good game.”
