What players say

This is a real gem in less than 500 MB. The tactical combat is extremely funny, but it is very deep

Game is a lot of fun. Scratches the tactical roguelike itch i've been having. Has a decent amount of content as well.

Difficulty is a bit all over the place especially thanks to the permadeath roguelike element, but it's a good medium between FFT and Ogre Battle with good strategic use of the environment.
