The graphics received predominantly negative feedback, often described as outdated, low-quality, and reminiscent of early 2000s or even older games, with many users finding them bland, janky, or hard to see in-game. A few reviews praised the graphics for their style or performance on low-end hardware, and some even claimed surprisingly advanced or immersive visuals, but these were outliers among largely critical opinions. Overall, the game's visuals are considered mediocre to poor but sometimes tolerated due to gameplay or nostalgic appeal.
- “Rebel forces greatly exceeded my expectations; the advanced graphical engine puts many triple-A games to shame, along with the advanced physics which will make your jaw hit the ground.”
- “When I first launched the game and selected fantastic graphics, I expected less than what was delivered. The stunning ray-tracing and 4K visuals blew me away, even if only on the title screen.”
- “The graphics are amazing, with immersive, high quality sound effects, and I cannot even put into words how varied the gameplay is.”
- “Graphics 2/10 looks like it's from 2004 (but I love the style so I would still give it a 10/10).”
- “It's gameplay is awful and the graphics look like a game made in 2001 although it was made in 2018.”
- “The graphics just look awful, it looks worse than games from the early 2000's.”

The gameplay of "Rebel Forces" receives mixed reviews, with some praising its fluid movement, intuitive aiming, and addictive mechanics, while others criticize its janky controls, lack of balance, and bland or outdated design. Many acknowledge it offers casual, fun FPS action, especially given its free and lightweight nature, though it often suffers from glitches and limited weapon variety.

- “Fun, addictive gameplay that I keep on visiting time and time again.”
- “The gameplay is simply unreal with aiming being so intuitive and smooth.”

- “It's a cheap 3D shooter you would find on a flashgame site, with janky controls, bland graphics and gameplay as well as barely any players.”
- “The gameplay is on the level of an early prerelease of Call of Duty 1, and all of the textures are copied and pasted which gives the game an ugly bland look.”

Overall, while the story may lack depth or variety for some, other players find it compelling and a highlight of the game.
