What players say

Players describe it as a compact tactics game with chess-like movement and puzzle-like puzzles. You control a few units against many enemies, winning by killing enemy captains. The automatic ranking system adjusts difficulty, and progress is all or nothing: no saving mid-game, no undo. Some call the AI weak, but the core design is praised as tight and addictive for short bursts.
