How it feels

A deliberate, turn-by-turn tactical puzzle where every action point matters and you coordinate a fantasy squad on a hand-drawn board.

What players say

Players compare it directly to Into the Breach, but say it is lighter in content and more punishing: a dead hero loses max HP permanently, and the shared action bar forces tight resource management. Several call it harder than expected, especially the splitting slimes and the need to protect all four crystals, and wish for a speed-up button.
