How it feels

A deliberate and strategic tactical RPG where you methodically move pixel-art characters across grid-based maps, balancing army management and story dialogue.

What players say

Players praise the classic Fire Emblem-style gameplay, story, and character variety, but note it is rough around the edges and difficult even on easy difficulty, with quality-of-life issues like a limited save system and missing features such as out-of-battle promotion.
