May 2025
This is a fun little strategy roguelike that is clearly set up in mobile game format, but for some reason was released for PC as a one time purchase instead. It's simple but engaging and can be bought on sale for essentially free. The only downside is that you can't save your progress mid-game and some runs can take 20-30 minutes. Looking forward to the sequel!

For the price its alright. Its a fun concept, but not much level or enemy variation. So it gets repetitive after about an hour. I wish games like this would incorporate more randomness in level design. So you're not just doing the same thing, over, and over, and over again. I see they are making a new one. Hopefully there will be more variation.
