The graphics are described as cute and cartoony, which many players find appealing and fitting for the game's style. However, some reviewers note that the simplistic visuals accompany a repetitive gameplay experience, suggesting a desire for more depth and features in future updates. Overall, while the graphics are enjoyable, they may not fully compensate for the game's lack of variety.
“Great game with fun visuals.”
“Cartoony graphics work well.”
“I would say for the price it is okay but not perfect. I would love to see more features in the game at a later date, maybe even some missions like a saloon gunfight or something. I understand that will counter the name of the game being quick draw, but it would still be fun, especially with the cartoony graphics which I have happened to fall in love with.”
“Beneath the cute graphics lurks a dull and repetitive wave shooter.”
