How it feels

A tense, methodical squad tactics game with retro charm, demanding careful planning and management.

What players say

Players say the game has interesting ideas but is ruined by tedious micromanagement and a terrible interface. The campaign starts you overpowered with no progression, missions drag across three stages, and the developer abandoned it shortly after leaving early access.
