Great game, supports Apple M1 just fine even though the store description says otherwise, actual game binary is Intel so Rosetta 2 is doing the work.

a very challenging game when put on hard mode! i enjoyed the challenge this game presented and with all the skills, different classes, items to equip to your commanders, and each and every island is different and unique, presenting a new challenge. the game never gets old. there is always a way to make it harder and challenge yourself.

game is awesome. really cute, adorable art style, and high-level overview of combat, meaning you can enjoy it without needing to micromanage everything. each level is a couple of minutes long, so you can jump in for just a bit, or play as much as your want.

It's ok. The game loop is quite repetitive and the enemies are unbalanced (e.g. when the Viking brute comes along it can wipe out your entire squad). The power ups your squads get aren't that impactful and you don't feel like your getting stronger, unlike other roguelikes.
The art style and music are good and I agree that it's 'cosy', but it's only worth a few hours of gameplay that can be frustrating when you die.

great casual game that can get extremely sweaty at higher difficulties. Great mechanics for a tactics/strategy game, simple to learn, slightly harder to master. The balance overall, is great for all kinds of players and I love the art style and sound effects used in the game. It really ties the entire experience together.
Picked this up for super cheap during the sale, no regrets! Viking/10

Incredible RTS game. All action, all the time. No time spent building things or training units. And the artwork is very nice.

The game really lacks content.
The idea is cool, and the mechanics are solid,
but compared to other indie titles, it falls short in terms of content.
It's like:
Faster Than Light but with only 3 gun options — only 3 unit types
Slay the Spire but with just 8 relics — only 8 possible equips
Hades with only 13 boons - only 13 traits (most of them is minor buff to speed or smth like that)

This is a great game! Very simple but very fun.
Each decision you make barely feels like a big decision but ends up sending you down a relatively one-way path. That gives this game a subtle challenge that keeps it engaging.
I bought this to play on the Steam Deck. Controls are excellent, but this one really uses the juice. If you planned on buying this to soak up an entire long plane ride, make sure you have a battery pack or an outlet (estimated ~4 hrs, as opposed to most other indie "cozy" games I play promising 5-10. haven't tried to tune). Not a big deal, as I need to take breaks from this game sooner than others. I find it to be rather intense despite its cozy aesthetic.
