How it feels

A thoughtful, turn-based tile-laying duel where players must outmaneuver each other on a small isometric battlefield to checkmate the opposing king.

What players say

Players praise the core tile-placement idea and pixel art, but find the AI too predictable and the strategy shallow after a few missions. Multiplayer lobbies are empty, and several players ask for more heroes, units, and game modes.
