What players say

Here we are once again, with an ostensibly good game that's fun having such glaring issues that break the illusion after that initial honeymoon period, ultimately tainting the entire experience. So let's get the praise out of the way first: it's 5 relatively tight campaigns that you can play with friends and have fun with, and they're overall fairly beatable for casual gamers and hardcore strategy game players...

its like a board game where all you can do is attack and go, you get a few ability cards and thats it, very little depth
⎝⧹Spinach♰Sack⧸⎠Not recommendedafter 4.5hAug 2026Read on Steam
overall gameplay is enjoyable, but the fact that your characters never gain power or stat increases is greatly disappointing. The only benefit of leveling is cosmetic, which makes little point in leveling up. I was really enjoying the game until I finished an adventure and realized I gained nothing from the accomplishment. It left me very disappointed and wanting my money back.
