How it feels

You strategically balance army upgrades and spell power in active auto-battles with permanent consequences.

What players say

Players call this a functional but basic auto-battler that is fun for a few hours. Many say the fixed enemy waves make replays predictable, and the campaign is too short with only three stages. Those who push for high difficulties or achievements complain the loop grows stale and forces one specific strategy.
