How it feels

A strategic, story-driven war tale that blends melancholy with camaraderie as you command a squad through turn-based battles on a watercolor battlefield.

What players say

Players love the unique turn-based/real-time combat, but the game has aged: a 30fps cap, awkward terrain hitboxes, and a ranking system that rewards rushing over strategy. The story gets mixed reactions, and Linux players report stuttering.
