A lighthearted yet demanding tactical RPG where humor and strategic combat mix in a fantasy setting.

What players say

Players praise the humorous writing and accessible tactical combat, comparing it favorably to XCOM for a shorter, less grindy experience. They agree the game is about 10 hours long, but some find a steep difficulty spike on normal difficulty in later missions, and a few note the lack of mid-mission saving as a drawback.
