How it feels

A methodical struggle to build and defend a base against relentless odds in a frozen, unforgiving world.

What players say

Players enjoy a roguelike deckbuilder with a board where your units only last a turn and the enemy marches closer like tower defense. Builds come together easily and feel satisfying, though early difficulty is too low and performance has stuttering. The AI art and plain UI divide opinion, and players want more balance for underused cards and heroes.
