Guards

When it all clicks, the gameplay feels like a carefully orchestrated routine, where each swap is part of a rhythm that keeps your formation alive against increasingly complex enemy patterns.

It's aesthetically pleasing, it has a unique and interesting mechanic, the heroes you unlock are quite interesting and playing requires a good amount of thought.

The graphics may well be simple, but I find it cute and original.

I enjoyed the seemingly simple combat system which encourages pacience and while it does involve some grinding eventually, I never felt bored or compelled to stop because of its increasing difficulty.

At first glance, it appears like many other indie strategy titles—small scale, fantasy-themed, and straightforward—but its defining feature lies in how it transforms traditional combat into something more rhythm-based and positional.

The soundtrack is great, I came to play/finish this game after Warstone TD which I've completed on Nightmare difficulty.
