The graphics are criticized for their inconsistent presentation and jankiness, which detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, the visual elements do not effectively enhance the gameplay, making it feel unrewarding, particularly in the context of the resource management mechanics.
- “But the larger problem, in my opinion, is the mixture of jank in presentation and other graphical elements, and how unrewarding it feels that gameplay revolves around a 3-phase round system where resource management is pretty much the determining factor of your success beyond your words-per-minute ranking.”
