How it feels
A turn-based tactical brawler with a retro anime aesthetic and grid-based combat that feels like a classic 90s strategy RPG.

What players say
Players enjoy the delinquent school setting and pixel art, but many find the tactics shallow once characters get strong. The game is short (2-3 hours), forces grinding to progress, lacks quality-of-life features like saving or skipping cutscenes, and can be unstable on Steam Deck. Reviews are split on whether the price matches the content.
