How it feels

A cute and colorful creature-collecting auto-battler where you strategically place and combine monsters on a board to build synergies and outwit opponents.

What players say

Players praise the creature-collecting backpack battler concept but criticize the janky UI, poor tutorial, and limited viable builds. Many find the game fun for about 20 hours before the lack of variety and balancing issues set in, with fire being dominant. PvE mode is a highlight.
