How it feels

A methodical strategy game where you slowly rebuild a shattered world by managing resources and magic from a top-down perspective.

What players say

Players praise the blend of indirect control, 4X, and RTS that cuts down on micromanagement to focus on high-level wizardry, but some call the execution lackluster and the cartoon graphics mediocre. One reviewer notes the flying islands evoke Netstorm, though the gameplay diverges entirely.
