How it feels

A turn-based tactical game where you carefully breed and enhance creatures, balancing magical upgrades against the risk of fatal side effects in a dark fantasy setting.

What players say

Players praise the unique monster breeding loop and depth of genetic mixing, but the experience is dragged down by a clunky interface, a brutal lack of tutorials, and save files that break with updates.
