A charming pixel-art HoMM-like with a clever essence-based magic system and stack limits. Skip it if you dislike pixel art, want big campaigns, or hate paid faction DLC.
Great for
Heroes of Might and Magic fans wanting a fresh, tactical take with co-op and strong pixel-art style
Main risk
Thin base content, paid faction DLC and scripted campaign difficulty spikes may disappoint

“Units directly influence the hero's magic (generating Essence). If you recruit one type of unit, you get access to certain spells; choose others, and you get completely different ones.”

“four (4!) missions per faction, most of which are focused on different main characters, with a jumbled seemingly random timeline, is just not enough”
