Already a very well designed game with great potential. If the developers manage to increase the tactical depth without losing sight of the ease of use, there is still a lot to be expected here.
By the way: great soundtrack!

The combat is simple but feels good, the music is cool.
I wish this game was more like battle brothers and also longer than couple of hours

I would absolutely recommend people have a go at this game, especially since it is in early access and so much fun already!
The game is easy to grasp and I am glad a help guide was added to show players what keys do what. The clans are interesting and I had a fun time trying different combinations although I think the Bloodseeker - Shieldmaiden might be my favourite! :)
I especially enjoyed the lovely art and the absolutely fantastic music! Also the raids scale nicely and it gives you a fair chance but not making it too easy. I hope more interesting things will be added in the future!
The developers were incredibly nice and responsive to feedback and are dedicated to improve on the game!

Simple and playable little game with a no frills design aesthetic. Take your warband through a series of increasingly difficult skirmishes with a limited ability to see what is in the next fight. The game can create some "feels bad" moments due to the massive number of attacks on late game enemies, but if you build a solid team (mix of DPS, healing, and debuffs by reducing enemy hit chances) you can chew through the encounters with some sharpish tactics. There are no attacks of opportunity, but the maps have plenty of terrain allowing you to defend at choke points, etc. Ranged combatants are somewhat balanced by dealing less damage than their melee counterparts and starting with a lower hit chance. I thought the soundtrack really delivered and the graphics were fine for the type of game. Minimal cut scenes, very little text, and next to no hand holding.

Delightful little game! Well thought out and quick fun. You have to strategically think about where you want to move your unit and how you wish for them to be in a formation. The enemy is ruthless. Still even if your party is wiped out. You keep your progress position on the skill progression tree. Well worth the small price of the game!
