How it feels

A methodical turn-based tactical RPG focused on deep combat customization and loot progression, with minimal narrative.

What players say

Players warn the game is abandoned and incomplete, with no updates for years. Combat is grindy and repetitive, and there is no tutorial, making it hard to get started. The campaign is short and can be finished in a weekend, but endgame content feels hollow. A few players still find it fun for a simple tactics game, but many are frustrated by the lack of polish and QoL.
