The graphics of the game are generally considered subpar and unpolished, with users describing them as clunky and terrible. While some find them decent, there is a consensus that they require significant improvement to enhance the overall experience.
“I really wanted to like this game. I love ARPGs and this game's features like a strong endgame and unique classes are like a dream come true, but it is not polished at all. Everything is clunky and weird, and the graphics are terrible. The tutorial did not work; I did not know where to go for quests or what to do. If you polish this game, it can be an ARPG that I can really sink my teeth into, but so far it's not.”
“Graphics are decent, but definitely need a once-over.”
