The graphics of the game have been widely criticized as "terrible," with many reviewers noting a lack of sophistication and a dull color palette dominated by greens and blues. Comparisons to other games, such as Dwarf Fortress, highlight that even minimalist graphics can be more engaging when executed well, suggesting that the game's visual presentation feels half-hearted and uninspired. Overall, the graphics do not meet the expectations for creating an immersive world, leading to disappointment among players.
“Most people get a feel for the world by the graphics, and if the world looks sophisticated, I want sophisticated behavior from the people.”
“The two games did not try to have similar graphics, and so they can't be compared.”
“So now that the development and gameplay comparison is out of the way, compare the graphics between Tribe of Pok and RimWorld; you can't or at least not fairly.”
“The graphics for this game are, to put it simply, terrible.”
“In my opinion, this half-hearted attempt at graphics is depressing; everything is either a dull shade of green or blue for water.”
“Dwarf Fortress is way more in-depth, has graphics packs that look way better than this game, and is completely free.”
