How it feels

A tense strategic simulation where you manage AI-controlled units on a hex grid in real-time with pause, with a methodical and atmospheric sci-fi feel.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple, slow-paced turret creep strategy game that feels like an animated board game. The campaign is short and gradually introduces mechanics, but some find it dull and repetitive while others enjoy the gradual challenge. The UI is clunky and there are some bugs that can block campaign progress, but the map editor and skirmish mode add replay value.
