The graphics in the game have been widely criticized for their poor quality, featuring a mix of outdated pixel art and amateurish MS Paint-style drawings, which detracts significantly from the overall visual experience. Reviewers noted a lack of customization options and resolution settings, further limiting any potential improvements to the graphics. While some players enjoyed the gameplay mechanics, the visual presentation remains a major drawback.
- “Best game ever! Awesome graphics with the best game mechanics.”
- “The artwork here is terrible; it's a blend of old retro pixel art used as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics, and some of the most amateurish MS Paint style drawings (I won't deign to call these 'illustrations').”
- “It's unclear if this is due to a lack of budget to hire someone who can do graphics properly, or a lack of talent. Regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result of these decisions.”
- “There's no way for gamers to try to improve the low-quality graphics.”

The story of "Hecatoncheir Story" is described as a basic narrative framework, primarily serving as a template for developers using Unity's 3D Game Kit. It lacks depth and complexity, focusing more on gameplay mechanics than a compelling storyline.
