Press reviews: “Bite-sized with bite, I say jump in.” Stately Play “The controls are easy to pick up, the strategy is pretty intuitive, and overall, it’s a well crafted little game.” Bleeding Cool “It's actually a very good and pretty cleverly designed game, certainly has the same addictive charm that I found with FTL, but fully stands on its own with the fun combat.” GamingOnLinux
