- “Its story is engaging.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players criticizing the retro pixel art as lazy and subpar compared to modern standards, while others appreciate the nostalgic charm and vibrant colors reminiscent of classic RPGs. While some find the graphics adequate for a pixelized game, others feel they fall short in quality and detail, particularly in relation to gameplay mechanics like collision detection. Overall, the reception highlights a divide between those who enjoy the retro aesthetic and those who expect higher graphical fidelity.
- “So far this has been a really fun game with a classic art style that reminds me a lot of RPGs I played growing up (but of course, with a more updated system).”

- “Also, I want to compliment the art style and overall character design.”
- “Crappy lazy retro pixel graphics (why don't these McDonald's employees ever hire an artist???), weak gameplay, high school dropout fanfiction tier story.”
- “The quality of this game is far, far, far beneath minimum acceptable standard for PC, and far beneath the quality of the games it's ripping off, despite decades of advancement in PC graphics and capability.”
- “I guess software testing is one of those things that the developers here couldn't really afford to arrange, along with decent graphics, art, storyline, gameplay, etc.”
