How it feels

A tactical fantasy puzzle game where you merge units to build a squad and fight monsters in turn-based battles, with a cute pixel art style and a gradual sense of progression.

What players say

Players love the merge-and-battle loop but are sharply split: some find it a fun, addictive time-waster, while others call it a shallow mobile-style grind that runs out of content in two hours. Multiple reviewers warn the game has not been updated since release and progression is gated by heavy microtransactions.
