From the Devs

A cartoon-style 2D rogue-like auto-chess game focused on tactical strategy, while maintaining a witty and lighthearted tone. Set in the late years of a Reptilian Dynasty, where corrupt officials and local despots collude in evil deeds, disasters erupt everywhere. Players must recruit various reptilian "heroes" from the greenwood forests to form a team. By continuously building characters' skills, equipment, and stele inscriptions through battles, defeat the chaos-causing leaders within the time limit.

Sly swarms of cockroaches, venomous mosquito soldiers, manipulated giant flesh worms... The game will ultimately feature diverse enemy types, including basic foes adapted to different terrains, as well as unique boss leaders with their own mechanics. Enemies will also come with randomly attached curses, presenting players with composite challenges throughout the adventure.

Hundreds of bizarre pieces of equipment, multi-dimensional character skill progression—players can freely mix and match, unleash their imagination, and test different build strategies.

Blades are merciless, bullets have no eyes—sometimes you even need to watch out for allies behind you taking a swing. Make sure to arrange formations carefully before battle and understand skill effects!
