    One of my favourite puzzle games of all time. For its age, it's amazing how well it works today. A classic of the Reflexive Arcade; it's a real shame there was never a sequel and I don't think we ever heard from the creators again.

    Game doesn't know if it wants to be a minesweeper roguelite with endless replayability, or classical strategy with campaigns and OP enemies. It's mediocre at both. Some levels are unwinnable due to low quality procgen, so the game just keeps you playing till you win enough battles to win the campaign, and has to throw a free win at you every 5 battles so you can advance once in a while. Otherwise you keep repeating…
