The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising them as great, particularly for sci-fi enthusiasts, while others find the aesthetics underwhelming and lacking in visual impact, especially regarding upgrades. Overall, the visuals are described as decent but not particularly memorable or engaging.
- “The gameplay and graphics, mixed with little eccentricities, is absolutely awesome!”
- “This game has great graphics and is great for someone who loves sci-fi.”
- “It's got easy gameplay and good graphics.”
- “Pretty meh aesthetics. As far as my experience goes, it's fairly playable if you go for it only, yet I didn't fully enjoy the art style at all, as well as the upgrading aspects behind it. It's not something as visual as in other games where each change refers to a visual change that goes along with it. Here you have levels, and you see those changes after level 50, 100, or 200. Meh.”
