The graphics are generally praised as "awesome," but some users feel they are somewhat dated, particularly when compared to more modern titles like World of Warcraft. The use of DirectX 9 technology contributes to this perception, with certain details and effects, such as waves, not meeting contemporary standards. Overall, while the graphics may not be cutting-edge, they still complement the strong gameplay experience.
“The gameplay is very good, graphics are awesome.”
“It is a great game, but the Commander nerf with DirectX 9 graphics feels a little dated.”

The humor in the game is derived from its playful twist on the familiar mechanics of "World of Warships," allowing players to control submarines, which adds a comedic element to the naval combat experience.
“Looks like World of Warships, but you can control subs, which is funny.”

The monetization strategy appears to be minimal, as the parent company does not engage in advertising, which may contribute to the game's small community size.
