How it feels

A tactical turn-based RPG where you carefully position units on destructible battlefields, build bridges and barricades, and fling enemies off cliffs or into lava.

What players say

Players call it a solid Fire Emblem tribute with strong tactical combat where positioning and terrain matter. The difficulty is high and permadeath forces careful play, though a casual mode removes it. Many reviewers praise the class variety and map editor, but widespread complaints about worsening slowdown bugs and identical sprites making character identification difficult hold it back.
