How it feels

A turn-based tactical brawl where every shot is aimed manually and difficulty ramps with each roguelike run.

What players say

Players love the satisfying skill-based aiming, where landing a tricky ricochet or headshot feels great. Reviews consistently compare it to Worms and XCOM, praising the creative item synergies and loadout customization. The single-player campaign offers 10-20 hours of roguelite runs, though some note the four factions are cosmetic only.
