A tactical strategy game that combines deckbuilding with grid-based combat, demanding careful resource management and methodical planning.

What players say
Players praise the novel mix of card-based deckbuilding and tactical strategy, but the early access version splits opinions. The steep learning curve and unusually long battles frustrate some, and the final boss is criticized for randomly changing your units, wasting your build. There is disagreement over faction balance, with one player calling the ice faction unusably slow.
