How it feels

You command a small squad of reborn monsters in tactical battles through hand-crafted underground levels, knowing death will reset your progress but not your prison.

What players say

Players praise the story-driven roguelite loop where death advances the plot, comparing combat to early Fire Emblem. Opinions split on the amateurish art: some call it charming, others call it ugly. A reviewer notes the developer is responsive to bug reports.
