The graphics of the game have received mixed feedback; while some players appreciate the unique low-poly art style and find it charming, others experience significant performance issues, such as drastic FPS drops that render the game unplayable. Overall, the aesthetic is praised for its creativity, particularly in the design of NFT weapons, but technical performance remains a concern for many users.
- “If you're a fan of shooters and appreciate a unique art style, nftribes is definitely worth checking out.”
- “I love the game's art style as a whole, and the contrast between the different NFT weapon designs (some even being out-of-the-box weapons like the guitar weapon) with the environment is great.”
- “The game is unplayable right now. I don't know why, but every time I join a server, my FPS drops from 120 to 5. I have no clue what is causing this. I tried reinstalling the game, and that didn't work. I tried lowering the graphics as much as possible, and that didn't work either. So unless this gets fixed, I do not recommend installing this game because it is straight up unplayable.”
- “Let's be honest for a second: one might not enjoy this type of gaming or this type of low-poly graphics, but one must also admit that this game is really fun.”
- “Nearly Friendly Tribes is a unique FPS game with a charming low-poly aesthetic.”
