The graphics of the game are widely criticized as outdated, with many reviewers noting that while they may have been acceptable in the past, they fall short by 2017 standards. Despite its fun gameplay, the visuals are considered a significant drawback, leading to a consensus that they detract from the overall experience.
“This decently fun cheesy piece of junk that won the gold for worst graphics for a $10 2017 FPS was made for everyone's favorite ultra-realistic Nintendo Wii, and it worked on the Wii and was fun on the Wii.”
“Graphics are not good.”
“Old game came out around 2010, so quit complaining that it's outdated in graphics.”

The game's optimization on PC has been criticized for poor performance and visuals, particularly failing to maintain a stable 60 fps, which detracts from the overall experience. However, some players find the gameplay enjoyable if they are familiar with the hunting mechanics.
“Slap it on PC where 60 fps is the golden rule, and obviously it's going to play like total garbage in terms of performance and looks. The game itself isn't so bad if you know how real hunting works.”

The humor in the game is described as delightfully terrible, reminiscent of cult classics like "Ride to Hell: Retribution" and "Plan 9 from Outer Space." Players find the absurdity and poor execution to be so entertaining that it elicits genuine laughter, making it a unique and enjoyable experience for those who appreciate "so bad it's good" content.
“It's so bad it's good; it is 'Ride to Hell: Retribution' bad (my impression of the game, I never did play it). It is 'Black Samurai' - or if you haven't seen that masterpiece, let's go with 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' - bad. As I love that kind of bad, I love this game; it is absolutely hilarious and had me crying with laughter.”
