How it feels

A cute and stylish real-time tactics game that feels brutal and intense as you manage resources and command squads against oncoming enemies.

What players say

Players call it a casual, short RTS that feels like a simplified Bad North with a cute art style. There is disagreement on difficulty: some find it perfectly relaxing, others say it is unbalanced and too hard. Multiple reviewers note that content was not expanded after late 2021.
