How it feels
A methodical, turn-based strategy game that blends chess-like positioning with roguelike progression, demanding careful planning and adaptation.

What players say
Players say this chess-roguelike succeeds at making novel piece abilities feel balanced, but they disagree on the boss difficulty curve as the first boss can spike hard. The runs are short and strategic, though some wish for more depth and polish in the interface to show potential moves.
