    • “There should be hills on these maps which should be displayed by elevation (graphically).”
    • “Additionally, the game's graphics and UI may feel clunky to those accustomed to contemporary standards, potentially limiting its appeal to a niche audience of simulation enthusiasts.”
    • “The game features somewhat lazy, simplistic 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low effort flash/browser games and mobile apps.”
