The game's graphics have been criticized for their outdated and lackluster 2D visuals, with many players expressing disappointment that the developer has not embraced modern 3D graphics, which have been standard since the mid-1990s. This has led to frustration among gamers who expect more from contemporary titles, especially given the capabilities of current gaming hardware.
- “The game features really lackluster 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?).”
- “Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games.”
- “Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now.”
