"A dungeon-crawling RPG that blends real-time strategy with D&D 2E rules, requiring tactical planning and character management in bite-sized dungeon runs."

Heads up: The RTS classification is misleading; this is primarily an RPG dungeon crawler with real-time combat—treat it as an RPG for time management purposes, as pausing is limited during encounters.
