How it feels

A tense, strategic base-defense action game where you must balance building, gathering, and combat to protect a fragile light source against increasing enemy pressure.

What players say

Players enjoy the mix of tower defense and active combat where you dodge, gather loot, and protect a camp. They praise the three classes, the need to manage resources for towers and abilities, and the satisfying difficulty curve, though some note combat can feel repetitive and equipment lacks visual change.
