The graphics of Undead Legions II have been widely criticized for their poorly executed retro pixel art and lack of cohesive design, which fails to appeal to both retro and modern aesthetics. Players noted the absence of resolution options and graphics tweaks, leading to a perception that the game looks outdated and unpolished, potentially alienating those who prioritize visual quality. Overall, the game's visual presentation has been a significant drawback for many reviewers.
“Undead Legions II is a badly made 2D retro pixel game with some poorly executed non-pixel artwork that demonstrates a lack of clear vision for the art design. It fails to meet any retro or modern aesthetic and just looks bad.”
“A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel 'art' as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
“There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”

The gameplay is criticized for being poorly executed in this 2D top-down shooter, featuring a lackluster undead theme and numerous defects typical of low-quality games. While the gold system is intended to encourage grinding for upgrades, it ultimately feels more like a stalling tactic, though later levels do provide more gold to ease progression.
“It's a very poorly done 2D top-down shooter with an 'undead' theme, poor gameplay, and the usual laundry list of defects we've come to expect from games at the shallow end of the pool.”
“The gold system is mostly a stalling mechanic to grind levels, but it isn't that grindy as later levels give a larger amount of gold for upgrades.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be manageable, as the gold system serves primarily as a stalling mechanic. While it encourages leveling up, later stages provide significantly more gold, reducing the overall grindiness of the experience.
