A playful, retro-strategy romp where legendary heroes face absurd dinosaur threats in turn-based tabletop-style combat.

What players say

Players praise the absurd premise of fighting reptilian invaders with historical figures like Cleopatra and Robin Hood, calling it a fun and creative tactical roguelite. They highlight the nostalgic tabletop aesthetic and humorous tone, though opinions split on the UI and some note a steep power snowball as runs progress.
