How it feels

A short but emotionally charged tactical RPG where you carefully position refugees in pixel-art battles for freedom.

What players say

Players consistently praise the pixel art and tactical combat, but many say the campaign is far too short at 3-5 hours and missing quality-of-life features like quicksaves or battle restart. Reviews split on difficulty: some find it fair while others complain the AI and enemy advantages force grinding.
