The game's graphics are characterized by a lazy minimalist style featuring untextured low-polygon assets that evoke early 1990s 3D games, which many players criticize as a lack of effort disguised as artistic choice. While some appreciate the minimalist approach, others feel it reflects poorly on the developers' talent and commitment. Community-created graphics mods offer potential enhancements, but the base visuals are generally seen as subpar.
“Graphics mods by the community could add additional icons or logos to customize the game in beautiful ways.”
“The minimalist art style works just fine, of course.”
“The lack of textures is a method that lazy devs often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to disguise it under the name of 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose', which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with.”
