How it feels

A desperate, turn-based dash for safety where every move and resource counts against an unrelenting horde.

What players say

Players compare it to a pixel-art XCOM against rat-like enemies, but many say it runs out of new ideas quickly after the first chapter. They are split on balance: some find it too easy with overwatch spam, others say later levels become unfair swarms that force you to run past loot.
