How it feels

A fast-paced strategy RPG where you explore a pixelated world in turn-based steps but watch hundreds of units clash in real-time battles.

What players say

Players are split on the difficulty, with some calling the AI cheating and others finding it fun for casual play. The automated real-time battles and pixel art are praised, but bugs and RNG draw complaints. It's often compared to Heroes of Might and Magic 3, though some say it's shallower.
