The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some users criticizing the low-polygon, untextured visuals as reminiscent of early 1990s games, suggesting a lack of effort from the developers. Others, however, appreciate the graphics as stunning for the price, though they express a desire for a more aesthetically pleasing presentation. Overall, the game's visual quality appears to be a contentious point among players.
“The graphics are stunning, and for a dollar?”
“There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
“The lack of textures is a method that lazy devs often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to disguise it under the name of 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose', which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with.”
“Fun game for the price, I wish it was a little more aesthetic though.”
