About this game
Overview
This is a strategy game that involves conquering levels with a limited number of units.
The game has a high level of difficulty and is suitable for players who enjoy planning with limited resources, puzzle-solving, and strategy.
Levels
The world features a semi-open and free exploration mode, with each region's levels having their unique unit mechanics and rewards.
Each level consists of several campaigns and resources. You need to use the limited unit resources on the map to plan your route and overcome the levels.

Units
Each unit has a unique mechanism with its own strengths and weaknesses, and mastering their use will save more resources.
Moreover, the units can work together cooperatively, trading a lower cost for more resources.

Battles
The game utilizes an action combat mechanism, with unit attacks having precise entity detection, hit stun, and knockback effects.
Fine-tuning positioning to change the timing of the attack is an important means of influencing the outcome of battle beyond just the mix of unit types.
Rewards
Each level has one unique piece of equipment, and unlocking new equipment and new units can be used in other levels.
With the right combination, they can make your battles much more efficient.
Some levels may also contain hidden rewards that require triggering specific conditions to obtain.

Challenges
Trying to conquer more campaigns with fewer resources will earn higher scores.
