What players say

This game is fantastic. I keep finding myself wanting to play it after a few months away, but the fact that there's been nothing at all in terms of updates, content, etc. for years has me feeling quite bummed.

Delightful rogue squad builder. Some interesting lore and story (albeit minimal), with a good variety of characters and encounters. It nails the formula rather perfectly and has been a ton of fun with lots of replay value. Some small criticisms: It is really easy to miss the scaling difficulty increase on victory as you need to manually press a subtle arrow, I did several runs before realizing I needed to manually...
