Steam review snapshots
What strikes right away is a very strong visual side of the game: the pixel art and animation quality is really high…Combat itself involves unit positioning: it matters (especially noticeable with smaller underpowered team) but the arrangement in the final build can be…Now for the criticism: 1)Despite many moving parts, there is not that much variety.There is a trick which can cut your grind time substantially, of which I learned too late.Why it fits
Check it if you want rpg, strategy filtered by dark, single-player.
