How it feels
A deliberate, old-school tactical RPG where you methodically build and command a fantasy army through a lengthy turn-based campaign.

What players say
Players praise the challenging turn-based hex strategy but note the lack of a tutorial. The game is compared to Fantasy General and Battle for Wesnoth. Opinions split on the first mission's difficulty, with some finding it impossible while others enjoy the steep challenge. The UI feels unpolished and item management is tedious.
