The graphics of Bible Adventures are criticized for being bland and subpar, especially when compared to other titles like Spiritual Warfare. Users have reported technical issues with running the game on DOSBox, further detracting from the overall experience. Overall, the visuals are deemed disappointing and not worth recommending.
“Other than that, I can't really recommend it, as it's three of the other bland and bad Bible games that AVGN played and reviewed. Nothing really to see here except for worse graphics and sound, especially compared to the Spiritual Warfare DOS port.”
“Bible Adventures not working on DOSBox (expanded memory - cannot load graphic file) - on different DOSBox too, but other games work great.”

The humor in the game is described as "so-bad-it's-hilarious," appealing to players regardless of their religious beliefs. Users find the game's oddities and inconsistencies, particularly in its biblical references, to be amusing, suggesting that the experience can be entertaining even if the game itself is not well-crafted.
“The humor in this game is so bad it's hilarious, making it a unique experience whether you're religious or not.”
“I find it odd that Wisdom Tree would make a game based on the King James Version of the Bible, but the absurdity of it all just adds to the charm.”
“These games are so weird and poorly made that they become a source of entertainment in their own right.”
