How it feels

A methodical, turn-based deckbuilder where each campaign feels like a slow-burn strategic puzzle of troop management and card-based decisions.

What players say

Players find the card roguelike fun and the combo system clever, but the early access version feels thin with short runs, punishing RNG on maps and relics, a grindy unlock system, and no meaningful further progression once completed. Several call out AI-generated art as visually distracting.
