The game's graphics are criticized for their lazy minimalist style, featuring untextured low-polygon assets that evoke a poorly executed 3D aesthetic reminiscent of early 1990s games. Reviewers express disappointment in the lack of effort put into the visuals, describing them as boring and bland, which detracts from the overall experience, especially when combined with gameplay issues.
“The game features lazy minimalist/untextured low-polygon 'retro' assets and visuals, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the early 1990s.”
“It 'only' runs at 150fps on my rig, which usually does 200fps for BF1 or similar titles on high graphical settings.”
“The lack of textures is a method that lazy developers often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to pass it off as 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose', which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with.”
“Boring, bland, and downright terrible graphics; it wouldn't be a problem if the gameplay worked, but...”
