Battle orders that actually mean something
Most idle games fight for you. Here, you write the rules first. Each hero follows Tactics you set: chug a potion at half health, save the big heal for someone below 30%, crack enemy shields, hold area spells until two or more foes are grouped up. You tune priorities in 10% steps, and the difference shows in the fight. Getting a healer to triage properly, or a mage to stop wasting mana, feels like solving a small puzzle that then solves dungeons for you. It is the kind of system that made party AI in old BioWare RPGs fun, and it is the heart of the game.
Several parties, all delving at once
You do not run one team, you run a guild. Form complementary groups of adventurers, give each one its Group Orders, and send them into different enemy lairs at the same time. While one party works a dungeon, another gathers materials or levels up its champions, and you rotate between them to check on progress. Grinding becomes something closer to overseeing a small, busy operation: heroes come back with rare loot, you craft it into weapons and potions, and push everyone deeper into the unknown. The game lets you choose how involved you want to be at any moment.
Can you play it at your own pace?
Do you have to babysit your parties constantly?
No, and that is the point. Battles run on their own once your Tactics and Group Orders are set, and multiple groups proceed at the same time without you. You can step away and come back to loot and progress, or lean in and fine-tune priorities whenever you feel like it. The game is built to let you choose your own level of involvement, from mostly hands-off to closely managing every hero's skill list.
Is it beginner friendly?
Yes. It is a casual, low-pressure game with no punishing failure, and the early hours ease you in before the tactics system opens up. The interface takes some getting used to and can feel clunky at first, but the core loop of hiring heroes, setting orders and watching them work is simple to pick up. If you have played any RPG before, nothing here will surprise you in a bad way.
Is the game still being worked on?
Actively. The developer posts updates regularly and has been quick to respond to feedback and bug reports in the community. Early performance problems from launch have been largely patched out, and new features and improvements keep arriving. The game is in better shape now than its rougher launch period suggests.
