What players say
Players praise this small-scale tactical tower defense game for its realistic tone and squad management, comparing it to Men of War. They enjoy moving troops around the map and customizing squads, but opinions split on difficulty: some find it addictively challenging, while others say it becomes impossible to progress, a design choice the developer defends.
