This is an auto-battler take on the Slay the Spire/Monster Train type rogue-lite. You pick 3 heroes initially (and 2 more over the course of the playthrough) from a decent sized roster (~15), and then progress through a game board with various types of nodes, much like in the aforementioned titles. Being an auto-battler, your decisions are in which heroes to select, what to equip them with, how to position them at the beginning of battle, and when to use consumable potions during battle. There's a surprisingly good depth of gameplay for the simple concept. As with the other games in the genre there's an incremental difficulty increase unlocked as you beat the game each time. I've managed to make it about halfway in (8/20) without repeating the same strategy twice so far, so there's a great variety of options that are viable.
I'd definitely recommend giving this a shot if you're looking for another rogue-lite fix. I've already put in 11 hours this week, and see myself jumping in for a run or two here and there for quite a while.
