Building from source requires CMake, submodule management, and compilation, which can be daunting for non-developers or those unfamiliar with command-line tools.
As a project emulating classic games, its 3D graphics are simplistic and lack the polish or detail of contemporary AAA titles, which may deter players seeking modern aesthetics.
The README is brief and lacks detailed guides, tutorials, or API references, making it harder for new contributors or players to troubleshoot or extend the game.
