How it feels

A deceptively cute tactical roguelike where you carefully manage resources and command mercenaries in unforgiving, procedurally generated medieval battles.

What players say

Players describe a simple autobattler with an Oregon Trail-like overworld map. Reviews consistently point to poor unit and hero balance, especially the elder being weak and skeleton archers shredding front lines. Some say RNG dictates outcomes while others find strategic depth. A minority report frequent crashes that end runs.
