How it feels

A strategic, turn-based RPG with a grind-heavy loot cycle and retro fantasy feel.

What players say

Players praise the unique turn-based combat where managing mana charges and healing feels strategic. The 8-bit visuals and music earn consistent praise, and many compare the look to Star Tropics. The story is light, but the game lets you freely choose between five classes. A few note the need to return to town to change class and that grinding is part of the loop.
