Very addictive game, worth playing if you like turn-based strategy games, something of a dying breed

For a kickstarter, this is a pretty good attempt at making a wholesome fun game. It does have its drawbacks, but for what it is at this stage, it is a really good TBS game. The mechanics and gameplay are very decent, and it is far from pay-to-win as they dont give you a huge advantage and matchmaking system seems very fair. The only concerns I have are the limited amount of units and limited options outside of matchmaking. There is a town(hub) where you can go to different places to buy new units, arrange your team, etc. but it doesn't feel like an entire town, should have more options like facing CPU (call it training barracks), place to just chat/discuss strategy (call it "Town Bar"), place to have a dedicated duel arena, best of 3 with wager match (bet your coin, high risk high reward). Also places like Auctionhouse (to buy units that people dismissed) or Prison (to buy lowly units that have experience in fighting, but cost may vary depending on hour). There's a ton of potential, I hope the developers consider the ideas from the communty. GLHF
