« A simple tactical game, very addictive, I played the demo version for a long time ago, at that time it seemed too monotonous, the content was decently added to the release version. »

« First boss is vastly too difficult. Game is worthless at this point to me, 35 minutes in and I am done. Very peeved about this purchase. »

« Each level is a small tactical riddle, and the enemies are just tough enough to keep things spicy. Soundtrack is surprisingly good too. Big recommend. »

« Honestly the best tactics game I’ve played since Into the Breach. No filler. Just smart fights, upgrades that matter, and actual build variety. Full version’s got enough content to sink a week into by the looks of it. Worth it. »

« Thought this would be a cozy pixel tactics game. Instead I got a brutal puzzle hellzone with demons and a UI that’s almost trying to kill me. It’s not perfect, but it’s smart as hell and rewards you for planning ahead. Addictive stuff. »
