The graphics have received mixed reviews, with some users criticizing them for being subpar compared to 2013 standards and noting awkward animations. However, others appreciate the visuals, highlighting them as a strong point despite finding the gameplay unengaging. Overall, while the graphics have their fans, they fall short of expectations for the era.
“Having said that, when I first signed on for working on the game, I initially wasn't all that attracted to the gameplay, since mashup brawlers were not my thing, but I did love the visuals a lot.”
“And I still really love the visuals.”
