Basic mechanics that work very complex together, kind of like chess. Really good so far, I wish I could read the update notes, but there are major updates pretty often. Would recommend as long as you don't mind some english translation issues, and a good amount of difficulty.

This is a challenging game with a lot of potential, albeit with some rough edges. Positives: - An original and well-implemented take on the rogue-like genre - Great artstyle and music - Several layers of gameplay depth, ensuring replayability - Even on "Mild" difficulty seriously challenging and complex Negatives: - English translation is severely lacking. Some mechanics will have to be understood through experimentation or trial and error, because the translation simply falls short. - While the music is great, the sound design leaves much to be desired. - UI features some imperfections, for example large enemies blocking the view of the squares behind them, making them difficult to target. The ingredients for a great game are all there, and while the game has some issues, none of them are game-breaking and well within the scope of what can be fixed during Early Access. I think they are already working on a better English translation. Assuming you are willing to put in a bit of effort to understand the game's UI and functions, I can fully recommend this game. I've been having lots of fun with it.

A very stylish turn based strategy game. Interesting heroes, an unusual combat system, this game delighted me and drew me in.

I love this game! The art direction is gorgeous, the mechanics are fun, the story ... I usually skip stories in games, but I have been reading every line in this game, though that may be in part due to my love of sketchy translations. I do think new units are a bit costly, but that may be due to my not usually playing this sort of game. Things in the second dungeon went south really fast due to the boss of the first dungeon randomly oneshotting both my hypercarries. But in general, I love this game. I was looking for a roguelike deckbuilder, and this game tricked me into playing a turnbased rpg. And I am not even mad about it. Well, gonna go get rekt again, though hopefully further into the story. Point is, this game is pogged. Try it. Can't hurt.
