How it feels

A relentlessly tough fantasy management sim where every decision carries weight and survival is a constant struggle.

What players say

Players love the unusual mix of town management and diablo-like combat, calling it a hidden classic that scratches a unique itch. The controls are rough and balance is off, but the ability to hatch and use dragon eggs in your army keeps people coming back. Most finish in 5 to 10 hours and wish for a more polished successor.
