The graphics of the game have been criticized for appearing dated, resembling early 2000s visuals rather than those expected from a 2020 release.

- “Dated graphics for a 2020 release, closer to the early 2000s.”
- “The graphics resemble the early 2000s, not a 2020 release (clarification is needed if it's an early 2000s game).”
- “As with most mobile ported HOGs, there's a simplistic interface, locked/unchangeable screen resolution, next to no customizability, and somewhat low resolution graphical assets.”
