How it feels
A deep, methodical turn-based tactics game that feels like a modern take on classic top-down strategy, demanding careful planning and squad management.

What players say
Players praise the deep, unforgiving tactical combat that recalls 1990s classics like X-COM and Jagged Alliance, with permadeath and campaign-ending mistakes adding tension. They note the game is a solo developer project with clumsy UI and text errors, and the difficulty is punishing even on normal.
