How it feels

A tense, methodical struggle to keep your ragtag mercenaries alive through brutal, low-fantasy battles and harsh strategic decisions.

What players say

Players love the mercenary management and tactical combat but are sharply divided on the RNG: some call it unfair and campaign-ending, others say it is part of the challenge. The game is very hard with permanent death, and a minority report a save-corrupting bug.
