Reviewers feel that the graphics could benefit from additional polish to enhance the overall visual experience, suggesting that with improvements, the game could be more appealing, especially for its price point.
“It's true that with a little bit more graphical polish, it could look way better. With some hours of a single-player mode, it could be a 6€ game.”
“The graphics feel outdated and lack the detail expected from modern games.”
“Character models are poorly designed, making it hard to connect with the game world.”
