The game's graphics have been criticized for relying on outdated retro pixel art, which many players find unappealing and of poor quality, especially given the locked resolution that prevents any improvement. Despite decent gameplay and controls, the visuals are seen as a significant drawback, leading to disappointment among gamers who expected more contemporary graphics, particularly for a paid title. Overall, the graphics are viewed as a lazy choice that detracts from the overall experience.
“Fast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on.”
“They chose to use obsolete retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
“Resolution is locked and can't be changed, so there's no way to even attempt to improve the poor quality, obsolete visuals.”
“The game isn't even free, exactly, as it's incomplete and players are expected to pay a whopping $14 USD for DLC to unlock additional characters, so I guess they saw the popular FPS hero shooter games and decided they could achieve the same success but without having to bother with complicated, difficult, and bare minimum standard 3D graphics.”

“(no story to the game or any reason. You just seem to enjoy walking through those halls and smash robots.)”
