The graphics in the game are generally considered acceptable, with a resolution locked at a single setting and limited graphical options available. However, players have reported significant issues, including crashes when attempting to change video settings and bugs affecting AI functionality, indicating a need for further polish and optimization.
- “Resolution is locked and can't be changed, and while there are graphics tweaks, it's just 5 different options going up to 'cinematic'.”
- “The idea is one of those I really like, but it needs a lot of polishing. First of all, if you try to change the video settings, it crashes, no matter the setting, epic or low. Second, the AI is bugged; if you don't possess the AI, it just won't work, but if you possess it and then leave the NPC, the AI starts working. The game also needs the possibility to upgrade guns, because if it's there, it doesn't work.”
- “The graphics look okay, and there's no asset flipping going on.”

- “The game features no proper level design or game/story flow/plot, as they opted to try to use repetitive procedural generation algorithms as a substitute for adding meaningful content to the game.”
