The graphics of the game are criticized for their simplistic and low-quality 2D vector art, which resembles that of low-effort mobile apps. Despite options to change resolution, these adjustments do not enhance the overall visual quality, leaving players with mediocre graphics that fail to meet the expectations of PC gamers accustomed to more impressive visuals. The lack of substantial graphical improvements reflects a broader issue of budget and skill limitations in game development.
“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”
