How it feels
You shape the battlefield as a god, manipulating terrain and unit classes while your troops follow their own pathfinding, creating a methodical, puzzle-like tactical experience with no randomness.

What players say
Players compare it to Into the Breach but say it stands apart with indirect unit control and terrain manipulation instead of direct commands. Combat has no randomness and all attacks are one-hit kills, making each turn a puzzle. Reviews consistently warn that bosses spike in difficulty sharply, and some players recommend starting on easy to grind meta-progression first.
