How it feels

A tense, methodical tactical RPG where you manage a squad of customized heroes through a grim alien planet, with each decision carrying weight.

What players say

Players compare it to Darkest Dungeon in a sci-fi setting, but find the macro layer shallow. The need to manage multiple squads with fatigue and healing creates grind, and the lack of a speed-up toggle drags the pacing. Gene therapy tech is considered overpowered, and the early access state leaves some features locked while allowing save scumming to revive squads.
