The verdict
A cozy, fast Total War-style battle roguelite from a very active solo dev. Skip it if you want deep tactics, a challenging AI, or lots of content.
Great for
Total War fans who want short, battle-only runs with a Slay the Spire-style roguelite loop
Main risk
Battles and factions feel samey with a weak AI, so it gets repetitive or too easy fast
What players love
Roguelite loop is fun and replayable
Mentioned in ~1 in 5 positive reviews
“If you wanted 'Slay the Spire' and 'Total War's' rogue like love child then this is the game for you.”
