The graphics are generally considered simple and basic, with a generic art style that detracts from immersion and clarity. While they may not be visually impressive, the underlying game mechanics and depth of gameplay are praised, indicating that the graphics serve their purpose without enhancing the overall experience.
“Graphics are simple, but there is a lot going on under the hood.”
“While the graphics are not the fanciest, the game system is very robust; the variety of units and their stats are quite impressive, while the city building and map easily have more depth than AOW3.”
“There are some weaknesses: the generic art style and game world hurt immersion, there aren't enough spells or units per faction to give you a whole lot of depth, and the AI isn't great at defending itself.”
“Graphics aren't much to talk about and it is a port from tablets.”
“The graphics and icons are adequate for this type of game.”
