How it feels

a deliberate, story-driven tactics game with retro pixel art and turn-based combat.

What players say

Players agree the game starts with a decent difficulty but quickly becomes trivial, with every enemy and boss dying in one round. Reviews split on whether this power trip is satisfying or boring. Some note the default controls are odd and cannot be remapped, and there is pay-to-win DLC alongside an in-game gacha.
