How it feels

A tactical RPG that feels methodical and grim, with deliberate decision-making and a slow, text-driven pace.

What players say

Players enjoy the bug-themed roguelike strategy, especially its art style and educational insect designs. Many find it fun for about ten hours, but note it becomes repetitive at higher ascension levels, with limited build diversity and weak difficulty scaling.
