It's an RPG turn-based strategy game inspired by the first games of the genre but with a new and original mechanic. This mechanic takes the form of 3 distinct rows in which all the fighters (players and creatures) are placed. Each skill requires being in a particular row and can only target by following certain rules. Innovative and complex combat system Row system to give a new dimension to the turn by turn. The rows define the range of the attacks and allow, among other things, to define a tank role that is not doomed to use a taunt all the time to attract attacks on him. 4 difficulties are available to satisfy both players who play to overcome challenges and those who play above all to live a story.
