How it feels
A high-pressure survival RTS where you desperately fortify and expand against overwhelming swarms, learning from each crushing defeat to push a little deeper next time.

What players say
Players enjoy the satisfying expand-and-push loop that blends RTS with tower defense, but many complain the controls are poorly laid out and the tutorial is weak. Opinions split on difficulty: some find it too easy after unlocking upgrades, while others say the roguelike meta progression forces a long grind to reach a challenge.
