the game runs on a heavily modified version of the hw2 engine, which is over 12 years old. still, for it to look so good on an engine that old is even more impressive as how good Blockland has looked despite its very old torque engine. the texture quality ingame is really good. even so you must take into account the fact that this is a game with large space battles with sometimes hundreds of ships on the screen at once. if they were all maxed out in ship detail quality that would seriously kill most peoples computers.
