About this game
Build a team of heroes and explore planets between tactical encounters. In battle, a hero moves freely inside an individual radius rather than along a grid. Team jumps help cover ground, but attacking commits that hero to a position, so movement and weapon use must be arranged in sequence. Each hero brings a distinct weapon role, and Sparks add effects such as elemental attacks. Rescuing more Sparks expands the abilities available for later encounters, giving you additional ways to configure the squad. Skill development can be reassigned when you want a different combination. Outside combat, explore planets and solve puzzles across environments that include tropical islands and icy mountains.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
Squad tactics for players who enjoy arranging movement and experimenting with ability combinations.
Free movement before an attack makes a turn resemble a small route-planning problem, while distinct weapons and Spark effects offer different ways to assemble a team. Reassignable skills should appeal to players who prefer revising a build over committing permanently to an early choice.
Strengths
- Weapon roles and Spark effects provide concrete ingredients for players who enjoy building complementary teams.
- Reassignable skill development gives experimentation a more forgiving structure.
Weaknesses
- Players who like moving again after every attack may find the position commitment restrictive.
Who it is for: Players who enjoy planning squad actions, adjusting character abilities and taking puzzle breaks between battles.
