How it feels

You run a medieval adventurer's guild, managing heroes who act on their own while you build up your outpost and deal with monsters and angry gods.

What players say

Players call this a bare-bones Majesty-inspired game that can be beaten in an hour or less. The art and music are praised, but many find the content shallow with few upgrades and buildings. Reviews split on difficulty: some say it is easy to rush through, others note a learning curve and challenge on harder maps. The low price is widely seen as fair for the short experience.
