The graphics are praised for their quality, but players have reported performance issues, with frame rates not exceeding 65 fps on high-end hardware. Additionally, the presence of a non-functional settings menu button limits in-game graphics adjustments.
“The graphics are very well done.”
“The game mechanics themselves are pretty cool, but with an i7 6700k and a 1080, it never got above maybe 65 fps even with no supersampling. They have a placeholder settings menu button, but it isn't clickable, so I can't adjust in-game graphics.”
