How it feels

A strategic turn-based roguelike where each battle is a puzzle that demands careful planning and adaptation.

What players say

Players enjoy the comedic unit dialogue and offbeat abilities, but report a game-breaking tutorial bug and note the bomber unit is overpowered. The campaign is short and there is no multiplayer, leaving some wanting more depth.
