« If you like looping 1 minute elevator music, interfaces that make little sense, poor pathing, and a game that really just doesnt respect your time... then this... will still be a disappointment. just terrible. »

« Can only meta the game, the difficulty is illogical. Demon clown or succubus is to op. With that being said any other character the enemy just goes into you're base and your minions don't go and kill them so you lose. »

« Good auto battler, really similar in feel to StarCraft desert strike custom map. Good progression system with collectible gear with boosts to take on future runs. Good unit/faction diversity and I hope to see more some day. »

Strengths

  • Addictive strategic depth drives the praise: 'fun' and 'strategie' each appear 6 times in positive contexts out of 7 total mentions.
  • Near-universal approval for balance adjustments: 'équilibrage' is mentioned 5 times, with 4 positive responses.
  • Every playtime bracket stays above 90% positive, peaking at 95% for the 10-25h segment.

Weaknesses

  • Minor audio gripes linger, with 1 negative mention out of 1 total.
  • UI and multiplayer draw consistent criticism, each receiving 2 negative mentions.
  • Content balance sparks debate, split evenly at 4 positive and 4 negative mentions.

Who is it for?

Command post tacticians who crave roguelite twists in their RTS will find this a tactical playground. Players under 2 hours may leave unimpressed, but longer sessions steadily win over skeptics.

Verdict

A polished indie strategy gem, though rough edges in UI and multiplayer hold it back from perfection. Early reviews suggest a cult hit in the making, with 94% positive feedback since launch.
