Shelved next to Atom Zombie Smasher for good reason: a casual, approachable feel, a sandbox world and tactical combat. The common ground extends to multiplayer gameplay and an isometric view. Where the two diverge is tone and visuals: 2D presentation.

On paper it is what Atom Zombie Smasher is — procedural generation, tactical combat and single-player focus — though the resemblance is mostly at that level. To that it adds an isometric view. They part company on tone and setting: this one brings cozy, relaxing feel and historical setting.
