The graphics in the game are generally considered decent, with some well-crafted cut-scenes, but they fall short in gameplay visuals, especially when compared to classic arcade beat-em-ups from the 90s. Overall, while the character designs are satisfactory, the combat visuals are notably lacking.
“The graphics are actually quite decent and there are some well put together cut-scenes (which unfortunately you cannot skip).”
“Compared to many arcade beat-em-ups of the 90's, the combat visuals in this game are surprisingly lacking; even the original Golden Axe is more visually spectacular as far as combat is concerned.”
“While the graphics and character designs are decent, the actual gameplay is horrendous.”

The game's music has been criticized for being annoying and lacking proper audio controls, forcing players to use external methods to mute it. While some players found the music initially relaxing, it quickly became a source of frustration.
“Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can't turn off the annoying background music. You'll need to alt+tab out and stop the music using the Windows sound mixer.”
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
