I came across this for the first time when I was browsing through Glixel’s top 50 games of 2016 list. Since it’s free-to-play, I took it for a spin at lunch time, and had a pretty good time even just going through the tutorial fights (and then a few practice matches). It’s got a great look to it that mixes pixelized characters (all the creatures you summon when you play) with very slick interface and environments. It’s a turn-based battle game that plays like a card game (you draw a hand of creatures and spells, and cast them on the battlefield), with a tactical map overlay. I don’t know if it’s going to keep my interested for a long time, but I definitely want to play it a bit more.
