How it feels
A methodical and tactical strategy game that feels like carefully planning and executing maneuvers against a persistent opponent.

What players say
Players are split on balance: some find the challenge just right, while others call the early game punishing and the power curve inconsistent. They praise the unique combat system that replaces block with direct clash, and the satisfying broken combos, but note slow animations and limited classes in early access.
