The WhatsNext verdict

For Fans of technical 2D character action and beat 'em ups who enjoy high-contrast visuals and turn-based strategic empire management.: It uniquely fuses deep, combo-heavy 2D brawling with a board-game style strategic campaign, set against a striking monochrome Aztec aesthetic. Tradeoff: The abrupt split between high-execution brawler mechanics and turn-based strategy pacing may alienate players looking strictly for one or the other.
