Challenging and engaging gameplay that requires strategic thinking, reminiscent of chess but with unique mechanics.
Great graphics and sound design, enhancing the overall experience and atmosphere of the game.
High replay value due to randomly generated boards and the need to adapt strategies based on different token combinations.

Frustrating difficulty spikes and limited checkpoints can lead to significant loss of progress, making it hard to enjoy the game.
The turn-based action system restricts player choices, often forcing focus on a few powerful units rather than utilizing the entire army.
Lack of persistent saves and rare shops can hinder progress, especially when facing tough battles without adequate resources.
