Indie rogue like

Very good game and would recommend to anyone who want a quick and strategic game.

Great game

Addicting. Thoughtful. Aesthetically pleasing. Worth it

Worth

Lately I’ve been googling the best games for iPad, this one did not disappoint. Great time killer, no ads. Plays great, good progression, addictive.

Great fun

Have really enjoyed playing this game. Love the game design, gameplay is fun and visuals are super cool. Found myself very invested in the cute characters story as well haha

Well made, lacks strategic depth

The combat is woefully boring…It plays much more like a dungeon crawler than a tactics game (just move and hack and shoot), which doesn’t work when the levels are tiny.

The best and most strategic part of the game is putting your build together, but with just a single unit/piece/character it feels uninteresting and shallow…again, like a dungeon crawler. If we had two+ units instead of one, I think it might be much, much more interesting.

The game is fairly clean. But, sadly, boring. If you leverage the archive system to pass abilities between runs, the game is trivially easy for a veteran gamer.

I love turn based games like this, but there are better options available.
