How it feels

You plan your mercenary lineup before each fight, then watch the automated battle unfold in compact arenas, relying on careful positioning rather than real-time control.

What players say

Players describe it as a relaxing auto battler where you place units and watch them fight. Strategy matters but some say spamming one unit works too often. The pixel art and chill pace are praised, though a few call it a dead game.
