How it feels

A slow-burn strategy RPG where careful planning and tactical positioning determine each encounter's outcome.

What players say

Players praise the storytelling and voice acting, but nearly everyone agrees the game is very short, finishing in 16 to 20 hours with no side content. Many report bugs, glitches, and poor optimization. Some feel the village management and crafting systems are underdeveloped and ultimately pointless.
