How it feels

A fast-paced board game-like battle where strategic unit placement and twitch shooting skill mix in a colorful, old-school arena.

What players say

Players describe it as a modern take on the classic Archon, with diverse unit types in a turn-based tactical arena. Combat is janky but fun, though the multiplayer function is broken and the game lacks a manual.
