How it feels

a charming, turn-based puzzle-like adventure guiding a cute team of minions through mazes with strategic deckbuilding and roguelike progression.

What players say

Players praise the reverse tower defense concept and monster variety, but the mid-game store costs scale too aggressively, rerolls become prohibitively expensive, undermining deck refinement. There is strong disagreement on depth: some find it strategic and replayable, others call it mindless or boring quickly. The campaign is short unless played with all clans.
