What players say
Players are split on this turn-based strategy game. Some enjoy the puzzle-like, level-by-level challenge of managing a secret society, comparing it to games like Into The Breach. Others find it shallow, repetitive, and too reliant on RNG, especially as a difficulty penalty after each conquered region makes the later game punishing.
