How it feels

A methodical duel where spell cards and turn-based tactics determine victory in a fantasy world.

What players say

Players call it a unique blend of turn-based strategy and card combat, similar to Heroes of Might and Magic and Magic the Gathering. It has an unusually hard campaign with timed missions and no persistent progression between maps, but many can't play it at all due to constant crashing on modern Windows systems without specific workarounds.
