Solid groundwork for a fantasy turn-based strategy game that hopefully will see more content being added in the future.
The gameplay is very quick and intuitive to pick up, experimentation with the magic and essence system is incentivised while managing armies and towns is relatively easy to balance, so it never feels like you are playing wrong.
The pixel art is simply stunning, colorful, detailed, rich and vibrant, it's just pure joy to look and units and building idling their animations.
There are also campaigns to add a narrative to the game but it is very barebone and not much interesting. It plays a lot like Thronebreaker for example, where you ran your character and their army across the map to collect stuff and clear events until you unlock the following chapter and start over again. It's as engaging as it needs to be, doesn't overcome its welcome and leaves plenty of room to just play the game.
