Draft a pocket-sized army, fit it together like a puzzle, then watch hundreds of tiny soldiers clash with the saved army of a real player.
How it plays
Every round has two halves. First you build: buy, place and rotate. Then you let go, and your legion fights it out on its own.
Buy formations from a shop that changes every round. Every card is a block of soldiers with a shape: a wolf pack, a line of bone archers, a goblin horde, a legendary dragon.
Fit the shapes together on your board. The red cells around a formation share its signature trait with whoever stands in them, and items radiate auras over the units around them.
Press Start and the fight plays out in real time against another player's saved army. Win, adjust your board and go again. Three lives, ten wins.
Placement is the puzzle
Slide a goblin horde into a Fire Elemental's red cells and every goblin sets its target ablaze. Let a Warg cover your wolves and they heal with every bite. Rotate a formation and the same units make a different army.
One connection shares Ranged with all twelve farmers.
It fits, but shares nothing. Turn it, and it does.
All eight hunters inherit Venom from one neighbour.
Three sources of Ranged turn a line of archers into a Volley.
Features
Asynchronous PvP
Every round you face a ghost: the exact board another player fielded at that round, matched to your rating. Nobody has to be online at the same time, so you never wait for an opponent.
Scale
Boards grow from a handful of units to legions of hundreds. Battles play out in real time with knockback, poison clouds, raised skeletons, chain lightning and leaping wargs.
Over a thousand units can share the field at once, and every one of them is doing its job.
Legendary units
Beasts, undead, goblins, dwarves, elementals and more, topped by legendaries that change how a board plays: a Balrog with a fire whip, a Phoenix that won't stay dead, an Undead Dragon, a Spider Queen.
Units that survive battles become veterans, so the army you keep matters as much as the army you buy.
Battle reports
After every fight a report shows how the battle swung, and which formation dealt the damage, soaked the hits and kept the line alive. Then you go back to the board knowing exactly what to fix.
Choose your commander
Wolves, wargs and spiders that hit fast and hunt in packs.
Bone guards, bone archers and an army that keeps getting back up.
At round five each commander offers doctrine relics that reshape the rest of the run.

FAQ
A pixel-art auto-battler about building an army. You draft formations, fit them together on a grid so their traits spread to their neighbours, and then the battle plays itself. All of your decisions happen before the fight starts.
Yes, asynchronously. Each round you fight the saved army of a real player who reached the same round, matched to your rating. Nobody has to be online at the same time, so there's no queue.
A run ends at ten wins or when you've lost your three lives. Finished runs settle your ladder rating. Practice runs use the same matchmaking and leave your rating alone.
