How it feels

You capture and command monsters in tactical turn-based battles across a fantasy archipelago, gradually uncovering a tournament's secret.

What players say

Players recommend the game as a charming monster taming tactical RPG from a solo developer, but note it feels rough and unfinished. The combat is too easy once you reach the level cap at 20, and the world feels empty with excessive backtracking. Movement and text speed are slow, dragging down the experience.
